The heart of tolerance
In short supply nowadays
In the forest of humanity
Beautiful trees logged down and burnt
Exposing the charred soil below
Even the seeds of life
Can't shelter deep enough to germinate
In the hardening of its dirt
By the feet of the unforgiving
And god's tears vaporized
Drying from so much crying
In the heat of anger from vindication
From one heart to another
And we wonder why we are in such turmoil
From the rising East to the sunset West
From the Northern lights to the Southern Cross
Hope like the rain's visitation to the Sahara desert
A rare phenomena an abnormally
For love to rebirth again its seeds
From mother to child, father to son
Daughter to brother, husband to wife,
Neighbor to neighbor, friend to friend,
We are consumed with the margin of living
On the edge of the cliff one step from falling
Into the jaws of the dark abyss
And for the ones who nest there already
I pray for the ladder of hope to be lowered
To your bruised hands and feet from you're hardened cross
We are humans and into the community of caring we yearn
There are still some hearts that beat with passion
And resurrection awaiting from the stone
