I pray to be
A painless me
Of earth and sea
Of salt and tears
That pour out of eyes for all to see
The hurt in me
All of my faults
My countless fears
I pray to be
A painless me
Of Earth and Sea
For this I long
For this to be, to just feel free
To be somewhere where I belong
To feel safe and join in singing songs
To have a place in my community
Without the heart ache of endless suffering
Without download speeds and buffering
Without connection errors, or tyrant’s terrors
Where children are safe in Syria
Where the threat of death no longer looms and lingers
Creeping into our hearts and fingers
A world without mass hysteria
I pray to be
A painless me
Of Earth and Sea
Of salt and tears
That pour out of eyes for all to see
The hurt in me
All of my faults
My countless fears
To tell tales of joy in my final years
I pray one day with pride that I may say
We made this world a better place
We turn the tide of the human race
Away from greed, from lust and power
Where every child can kiss the flowers
Without doubt to hold the hand of hours
Where lives not a single soul without a warm embrace
So if this dream you wish it true
All you really have to do… is to hope and pray, and every day. Find something kind to do or say
