Walking through the darkness A world made of ash Everyday I keep on walking My feet keep on burning Tyrants live in temples Made of the broken Relaxing with their Model girlfriend Shareholders count their War dividends as they send Their children to Eton While in a distant land a little girl just got Shot Lost in the darkness Brutality has no ending Looking to balance the equation Only finding a black hole a never ending continuum As people preach of hope But are so often wrong More flowers placed by The roadside why do the good Often die young As single mums struggle tormented by ex lovers Who walk away smiling With their new girlfriend As the faint hearted Seek reason where there is none And sense in the senseless Like broken glass can ever have any purpose But as good deeds do lie Buried unseen forgotten In their life only find ruin Let us not betray the scattered Lights discarded by life   Thrown to the wind like ash Let them be our stars For however dim my shine However weak I may feel I stand with God by my side Holding my hand Softly whispering " Please not you Adam don't let me loose you too hang on   let me just love you" As I promise to hold   Onto goodness Like a flower On a cliff edge And however faint I maybe Like a distant star I shine And shine I do with new  hope
