Fluttering, so fragile
A shred, infinitesimal
An ember still fighting to survive
Through generations, to stay alive
To keep burning into the books
How our history looks
What we've achieved
Lost, won, and grieved
And so, my friends, I hope a shred of hope you will receive in your greatest need
It will help in the darkest of your days to relieve
And just know don't ever let it go, because when hope is released

One more ember in the fire goes out
One more fight shivers and freezes
One more dead body added to the pile
And one more heart in the lives of our loved ones is seized

Take care of the shred of hope you have
Try to build a chest full
When you've succeeded that
You'll feel a pull

To help others in their darkest days
As hope has done to you
And hopefully, hope will be
Strong and good enough to see you both well, all through
