Only He Knows (Overpowered By Hope)

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


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"

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
