A New Hope

Amy's going back to school today,
elation, jubilation streams from her face.
Did the halls smell of gunpouder still?
What made the human mind dark enough to kill?

A new hope,
where is your freedom?
A new hope,
cast off your burdens.

A darker world lies beneath this one.
Cryptic it hides beneath perception.
We all saw it on that day,
stunned we stood stuttering.
What did the news say?

A new hope,
where is your freedom?
A new hope,
here is your freedom.

Peace
fills us
by hope we steer
our dark hearts salvaged.
We live without fear...
