Hope

So tell me now the truth
What are we to do
When all that's left of what we thought we knew
Has no proof and no reason to subside?
The lives that we have tried to make out own
Are tested by the force that's still unknown
It takes one moment for the world to bring you swiftly to your knees
The one component you should never let go is hope
The view from far away has changed
The road ahead may be long
The race is not run
Please do not delay for the battle is not yet won
We will pray for him
My son
It's absurd!
The place I least expect
To find a source of comfort in this mess
Is holding outstretched arms
We haven't found a cure
We're witnessing the human race fighting its own war
But there's still hope
The view from far away has changed
The road ahead may be long
The race is not run
Please do not delay for the battle is not yet won
We will pray for him
My son
