Even when the light is gone

And the world turned dark

Even when you can't go on

And life seems so stark

 

Even when the tears keep going

And they never seem to cease

Even when your sorrows are growing

And there's seemingly no peace

 

Somehow, against all this,

Hope whispers in your mind,

Even though it all seems amiss,

It says, "Get up again, one more time."
