We bleed the same, we breathe the same, we hurt the same, we hope the same Some seem to try their hardest to tear this world apart I try to show love, give love, live love, be love and bring the world together Some choose to see what divides us I choose to see what unites us Some would see the world on fire I would see our hearts on fire Some would seek to change another I would seek to understand my brother Some might say all hope is lost I might say we are lost and search for where hope is found Some might feel only rage and hate But I feel that peace and love will dominate Some might believe that I'm a dreamer or a fool But I believe that hope and dreams will never be uncool Some might wonder and ask why should I care? I wonder how they don't see it everywhere
Written in Adoration at St. Patrick's Catholic Church on Wednesday. It seems very timely in the wake of all the chaos, hate, and violence across the country and in the world in the past few weeks as well.
