Nothing is the same, all will be made new
It was only yesterday we knew what to do
But these days they are dragging
It’s a tornado with no compass
But you will be lifted out of and into
The way things will be as we renew
Don’t get caught up in the panic and ensue
Rather hold your torch up high in the midst
Bad news spews day in and day out 
‘Tis true we must be vigilant with great care
But these times as troubling as they are
They too shall pass and leave their scar
This is the time for leaders to arise
Heads of families groups and more
Times have been worse before it’s true
So hold your blazing torch to the sky
You were born to raise your sword as such
To inspire a world in chaos
Those who would faint under the weight
Need you to arise
We know who we are
We will survive
We will grieve and mourn those we have lost
This has always been the way around the globe
Suffering takes it’s toll grieves the very heart and soul
Humankind has been given this opportunity
To rise and shine with love for its inhabitants
We are all equal but vastly different
This is a global opportunity to coexist
Shall we waste it on pointing fingers
 Or shall we rise up and hold our hearts on display
This world needs people who still believe in each other
Take good care of those under you
This too shall pass but we will always remember
Like never before these times they stir
Hearts and minds are up for grabs
With so much media and other voices clamoring
It’s time to remember where we came from and who we are
Life may be short but it must be plentiful
We will be better for the lessons we have learned
Let us never grow complacent again
Enemies are real and they are true to their cause
We cannot make peace with those who will not understand
 Yet we must always believe there is hope
There is so much more than Hope
There is a future
It is bright and ripe for the taking
We are all not the same but now we know
What it feels like to be on the same planet
Let’s do a better job this time
Life, love and hope for the future
We should offer each other willingly
Be vigilant like never before
Right now there are unseen things we cannot explore
Some trust must be given for a solution
Do not trust your enemies
But the most important thing we can do
Is learn, love, communicate better, and never ever ever give up.
