A New Hope

Amy's going back to school today,

Elation, jubilation streams from her face.

Did the halls smell of gunpowder still?

What made the human mind dark enough to kill?

A new hope,

Where is your freedom?

A new hope,

Cast off your burdens.

A darker world lies behind this one.

Cryptic it hides beneath perception.

We all saw it on that day,

Stunned we stood stuttering.

What did the news say?

A new hope,

Where is your freedom?

A new hope,

Cast off your burdens.

A new hope,

Where is your freedom?

A new hope,

Here is your freedom.

Peace

Fills us

By hope we steer

Our dark hearts salvaged.

We live without fear.
