Hope...

Stepping out from the darkness
I see a dazzling light
So bright that I want to
Hide in my own shadow
But wait! The haze is clearing
And I can see what lies ahead.
A celestial rainbow
So breathtaking, so pure
A vibrant spectrum
Of man’s hopes and dreams
The road to tranquility
And all good that we desire.
Could this really be
The path to prosperity?
Has the moment finally come
For us to realize the pot of gold?
Can this dawning era
Save a perishing human race?
What can be done
To rescue hope from oblivion?
How can we attain
All we perceive as righteous?
What must we do
To save this species from extinction?
Let us unite in harmony
As brothers and sisters
Let us chorus with pride
Our common identity
Let us walk the rainbow
To a resplendent future.
And then we will hear
The doves of peace
Then we will see
The promised land
And then we can mould
A golden era for us all.
