to lift us higher: 10-2024

written 10-2024.....
.
it’s darkest just before the dawn
at least that’s what they say
when will the morning come
where is the brighter day
.
when will the truth be told
when will our hope arrive
who will our souls set free
how will we all survive
.
.
the actors change the script remains the same
how can this outcome be revised
.
.
one hand is reaching out one hand is reaching down
one holds the healing we desire
one heart it longs for love one heart with love appears
one heart is here to lift us higher
.
.
the beggar beats a silent drum
the henchman clenches fist
the rising tide appears
we wonder what we’ve missed
.
the leopard’s spots cannot
be changed or be erased
the harbingers of time
their message must be faced
.
.
the actors change the script remains the same
how can this outcome be revised
.
.
one hand is reaching out one hand is reaching down
one holds the healing we desire
one heart it longs for love one heart with love appears
one heart is here to lift us higher
.
to lift us higher
.
