Lonely people, distant eyes,
Sore the heart of sorrow cries,
Never reaching out for life,
Endure the day with weary sighs.
Despair creeps in through their rain,
Arms bleed the way through pain;
They don't see sunlight through the storm.
They think no dawn will come again.
Heart of darkness, heart of fears,
Fiercer, fiercer, burning tears,
Fragile threads, almost vainly
Held together through the years.
Did you ever see her smile?
Trembling, trembling all the while,
She sleeps, she wakes, she cries and then
She knows she cannot walk the mile.
Dare you tell her it's alright?
Guide her through the dark of night?
Stay with her and hold her hand,
Give her peace and hope and light.
Tell them all, spread the news:
This time you don't have to lose!
Fight the fight, endure and hope,
You have now the power to choose.
Truth in midst of lies is found,
Darkness flees when dawn comes 'round,
Every shadow evidences sun;
To death we are no longer bound.
Each hand reach out to hold another,
Each heart lift a spirit higher,
Until joy shines on every face
And love makes us ever stronger.
Happy people, hopeful eyes,
Now the heart no longer cries;
Hear the song, rejoice in life,
Love, like hope, never dies.
