They all call out
They scream and they shout
Their voices can be heard
Though their words seem absurd
They all come now
Overpowered by hope
Is there a way that we can avoid- all that makes the wars start- I wish I could wrap my arms around these people- like shaking children- and tighten my grip, for they are weaker than the newborns
And we fall- we trip on the most obvious of obstacles- but mostly- it's the strings that hold us together- it's the little things that destroy- the little ones who make us better
And who believes- there are lies, impossible to count- but still, as the night falls- all the people will call-
someday, when their hearts are broken- their bleeding tongues will scream and when they have spoken- all will know that they believe
And I wonder, What shall we do with our lives? But when I ask them, they simply say, "I don't know, I don't know, no one knows 'til it comes and it goes"
But He knows- there's only One who knows- and it's Him- only He knows
They all call out
They scream and they shout
Their voices can be heard
Though their words seem absurd
They all come now
Overpowered by hope
