Dark Winter

The ash piles a familiar sight today

Black snowflakes in the wind

the yesterdays our callused fingers can't reclaim

Each heavy breath we take is proof

of daunting war zone paths we did't want but survive

all had to choose

Hold on,Hold on

Hold on

The ice will melt

The sun will come

Sickness breeds shadows that lurk in hearts

till they tear and bleed

Dark Winter

Perseveres

voices screaming together as one

We won't take bended knee

Dark Winter

Perseveres

and so do we

Contagion burdens our humanity

Where children used to play

now violence flares their futures crushed

and quarantined

Scattered we all know what it takes

to weather through the cold

'cause if we fall we forfeit

too much that's at stake

Hold on,Hold on

Hold on

The ice will melt

The sun will come

Sickness breeds shadows that lurk in hearts

till they tear and bleed

Dark Winter

Perseveres

voices screaming together as one

We won't take bended knee

Dark Winter

Perseveres

and so do we

Lives are lost,hearts displaced

And no one knows

How many

we can save

For off from home

frozen still

But one day

we will outgrow break through

Sickness breeds shadows that lurk in hearts

till they tear and bleed

Dark Winter

Perseveres

voices screaming together as one

We won't take bended knee

Dark Winter

Perseveres

and so do we
