I don't know what to write or
how to reach out to you my
people, my community

How do I make myself feel
part of this world, my country
so much feels so very wrong

Did God mean for us to live
in such fear, such pain, turmoil
was that his plan for us all?

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands

are we not to live with joy
more than fear, forboding, pain
I know I would rather be

Joyful in what I have and
at peace with the world, people
overwheling fear tears the soul

apart from within, and then
will darkness take over from
hope's small light, piercing the night
