Afraid to take
The next bold step
Darkness steals
The joy they shared

Alive in fear
Their joy falls away
Lost in love
Filled with yesterday

Pushing away
All that's real
Clinging to hurts
That never heal

Trust and love
Love and trust
Abandoning fear
Trust, they must

Future uncertain
God's grace unplanned
Prayer and forgiveness
Healing the land

Believing in goodness
The children walk on
Waking one day
To the new rising dawn
