Black and white, day and night, The city suffers, yearning for light hundreds are dead, it doesn't seem logical, One has to wonder how is it possible The powder keg of racial prejudice, Creates explosions destroying the best of us, Fortunately, the dawn would end this time of fright, A world tired of darkness, yearning for light Hearts capable of evil, and mortal sin, A new light would form in the hearts of men The answer is in the goodness of God that weaves all Yes, indeed, the future is bright, hope has put beauty in myopic sight, Hope is the power that drives us on, hope is the beauty of the yearning light.

A Yearning Light
Black and white, day and night, The city suffers, yearning for light hundreds are dead, it doesn't seem logical, One has to wonder how is it possible The powder keg of racial prejudice, Creates explosions destroying the best of us, Fortunately, the dawn would end this time of fright, A world tired of darkness, yearning for light Hearts capable of evil, and mortal sin, A new light would form in the hearts of men The answer is in the goodness of God that weaves all Yes, indeed, the future is bright, hope has put beauty in myopic sight, Hope is the power that drives us on, hope is the beauty of the yearning light.
In our modern world it seems like the compassion for people has truly dimmed. We are no longer interested in other peoples lives, The only interest is what they can do for us. Not truly knowing a person creates assumptions. which is one of the foundations in racism and all stereotypes. Last year was a crazy year socially, a year I will never forget. I encourage you to pray for our nation, and get to know people's character for yourself. Don't assume who they are based on what you hear about them from someone else. Our society today loves to create things based on assumptions and lies. However, we don't have to be that way, walk in love and truth, be that beacon of hope in your community, be that yearning light!
