I wake up to the sun
The news has just begun
Yet another blood-soaked smoking gun
The paper at my feet
Shows me terror in the streets
Another war, and human nature won
TV channels turn
From cut to torn to burned
Watching people pay the human cost
Another face in tears
Every day of every year
I wanna think hope is never lost
For everywhere
Are people who care
Other souls who cling to sanity
The love in their hearts
Is light in the dark
Shining on our humanity
I walk into a bitter day
Looking hard to blindly lose my way
Every soul will have a price to pay
But there are miracles for which I didn't pray
And turning around
Closer to ground
In every act of kindness I can see
That even a spark
Pierces the dark
Shining on our humanity
For everywhere
Are people who care
Other souls who cling to sanity
The love in their hearts
Is light in the dark
Shining on our humanity
And turning around
Closer to ground
In every act of kindness I can see
That even a spark pierces the dark
Of our humanity
