In Light Of Hope



The silence forces itself upon me
 Consumes every piano note and key
 It reaches its intangible hand down my throat
 It forces me behind an invisible note
 And this dark world of quiet

 Where all the silenced voices riot
 There is but one single light
 That illuminates the eternal night
 It is the light of the spirit of hope

 That sheds light over my hopeless boat
 It summons the wind to blow me to shore
 Where I can live in a world of sound once more
 Even in the darkest shadows of the night

 It fills the silence with its brave might
 I no longer sail in the sea of desperation
 But fly high in the sky of a hopeful nation
