-- and on, onto the future. Regardless what may come my way.
visions
of greatness
images
haunting the mind
whispersÂ
of a future
that cannot be seen
of a cool breeze
that has yet to brush our skin
we reachedÂ
for the unreachable
we ran
until our body failed
we prayed
to a God who may not be listening
but we have
these dreams
that push us along the way
these hopes
that fill us with power
this faith
that we will rise above
and taste freedom
toiling for justice
bleeding for hope
dying for love
what Fools we may be
breathing truth
in a sea of lies
and so we will drown
yet
love lies before us
all we can do
is take the step forward
justice rests on the horizon
all we can do
is squint at its beauty
stumble forward
and know
someday
they'll feel the warmth upon their skin
and smile in thanks
to the souls
who beat the path
that lead
to
freedom
