I sit and wait My eyes drift off My mind sleeps In my dreams I see a Dove Beautiful, majestic and bright I wake and what I see Is the world for what it is: Horror, Pain, and Disbelief There is no hope There is no sign No faith, or love divine We are stripped of our strength The staff is shoddy and rotting We walk Tripping on tired, weary soles Hiding our eyes from Hope For where is our Savior? Who will bring us out of the void Who will shelter us and show us The way has not been barred As Moses did cry “Let my people go!” Who cries now when a poor man has nothing and has stopped so far, far below Below grass, time and life itself That he wanders the Earth Lost and afraid Begging from strangers Who offer nothing but contempt? The truth is: we have no freedom No hope, no none of that We’ll continue to search the world, the sky and the soil For a Savior to break this horrid and infallible net. But we don’t deserve that No, not yet.
