RISING UP

I've walked for months, trying to escape this urban blight
The world around me remains broken, stunningly broken
In this world of darkness, where there's no hope or light
Now a child rose, in the middle of the chaos, the chosen
Calling for the rising up, a revolution of beings in stasis
All planets will never come into alignment, never caring
All alone, in knee deep failures and million mile stares
We're led by the innocence of a child, and beg for more
Life in a penal system, trapped in questions not asked
Is freedom worth this pain, is it a choice for our life?
As we follow, seek the light in perpetual darkness
We ask the question, shed the lies, we find answers
We simply must be patient, be wisdom, prevail
The child shared in her moment, all the prayers unspoken
Everything we'd wanted, still was not there, and still
If we'd known all our lives we had meaning
We now had hope, even alone and quiet 
It wasn't yet known, it was hidden behind the veil
So simple, we'd needed to ask, trust and find
Take revelations found 
and with the sun 
                  rise
