Hope

[Dusty Soul 2,611]

Hope

 

Watching the sun set on the forest leaves

I know now were all born to be free

the moon, the stars, the sky shines bright

with all that we've been wishing for is granted on this night

 

The swarm of insects blurs the sky

Everything lays down to die

the plants, the birds, the silent grass

All sleeping for it to pass

 

A small animal crawls out

And with audacity decides to creep about

For it's deeds are to deep to be true

This one animal waits for you

 

I look to the stars for one true answer

But all I see is dreams that become a cancer

growing endlessly in the sky

where all good dreams go to die

 

Last, but not least on this night

I see the mighty Earth giving up the fight

The last of the animals have been set to stone

The cries of things once flesh and bone

 

I kick the stone that's by my feet

As the stone awakes and starts to tweet

A little bird just born this night

Creeping on with all it's might

 

This shows me that there is one thing

This has been around since the first being

Is hope for a brighter land

This is already in our hands...
