Universal
Love
Universal Love
There are voices in the darkness,
they are crying for their kin
There's a sobbing, never answered,
many hopes are wearing thin
There are people, by the thousands,
nursing wounds inside, and out
There's a numbness, there's
a blur of disbelief without a doubt
There's collective love emerging,
reaching out with such a force
Overpowering, overwhelming,
touching those bathed in remorse
There are questions, there's
no answers, no solutions to be found
There's no reason for the horrors
under rubble on the ground
At the mercy of externals, people
on a daily path
No one ever could imagine what
would be the aftermath
Through the sorrow, through
the darkness, people look towards the light
For a universal love that stirs
the whole world to unite.
