Till the river of tears dries,

Till the fire of the sun stops.

Till there are beats in my heart

Till then I'll continue to love.

Storms and thunder - let them come;

We'll play with them till they tire.

Gods and fanatics - let them frown

We'll laugh at them till they smile.

There will be days when land will burn

When the mornings will lose their blues.

But as long as I have you by my side

My life will blossom in all its hues.

Wings cut, feet tied and eyes shut

Baggage from the past; life in a rut.

A very faint voice, somewhere within

Looks for an escape from the dungeon.

A land of colour and joy it envisions

There is pain even as time might fly.

The dark black replaced by love's red

This endless sea of hope, it will never die.

When the night is darkest, awaken.

When the silence is pervasive, sing.

When the crowds are gone, lead.

When the heart is broken, love.

The heart might never heal, so be it.

Let us make a new heart, a new world.

Words that shattered hope of the past,

Let them not colour the future black.

Let a thousand flowers bloom; the power!

Let the cold chains not hold you back.

Set your heart and mind free from gloom,

Especially when the heart is broken, love!

The water, gushing down with fury

Around corners, smashing the rocks

A war cry resonates in the silence

An uncontrollable anger flowing free.

And then it all stops - silence perfect

The pond sits pretty at the bottom.

Past a dream lived in unending strife

The future not known, peace prevails.
