Oh blessed night devoid of light
no shadows and no stars
thy gentleness and sweet caress
as healed my many scars

How we have wept as others slept
the sleep we are denied
for no one knew I ran to you
and in your arms I died

Take me with you when day breaks through
and let this life be done
for I desire my fun'ral pyre
to shame the rising sun

Oh solemnly I swear to thee
that I can take no more
the pain the ache of each daybreak
is killing me for sure
A play on a book title

Heel the scars

you caused...

when you
trampled my heart.

What If...

The soldiers of the world
     All at the very same time
Laid down their mighty weapons
     And refused to fight

Walked off of the killing fields
     To make their way back home
As the world stood by and watched
     Would we then all get along

What If...

Those who preached of hate
     Suddenly shut their mouths
Turning from the hatred in their hearts
     To find what true love is all about

Would it make a difference
     In how you loved those around
Would it make a difference
     In how you loved yourself

What If...

All the leaders of the world
     Came together for one day
Locked themselves inside a room
     With their advisors out of the way

Could they see each other with value
     And become the best of friends
Seeing it's not just a country after all
     But a world that we live in

What If...
