The Sunrise

One day we’ll wake up to the sunrise, And we’ll feel the heat upon our skin
We’ll put our hand up to our heart, And we’ll feel the purpose return inside
One day we’ll wake up to the sunrise, And we’ll feel the love upon our skin
We’ll put our hand up to another heart, And we’ll feel the pulse return in them

The love will return, The grace will be restored, The faith will be refilled endlessly
We need no god to tell us who we are, We need no god for our heart to be filled
We need another’s love, Another’s trust, Another’s hope, Another’s faith
The love will return, The happiness will overflow and our eyes will follow suit

We’ve written names in the stars, We’ve written names in the sand
We’ve seen them flying away, We’ve seen them washed away
We’ve felt the courage ebb away, We’ve felt the doubt overcome us
We’ve known what it is to be hopeless, And we’re so tired and broken

When will we force the hatred from our minds to make room for others
When will we force the bitterness from our veins to make room for brothers
When will we force the numbness from our souls to make room for sisters
When will we force the sadness from our hearts to make room for lovers

I have been consumed by this numb for so long, My heart can take no more
I long to feel the stab of love, I long to be broken down by another’s words
My ears need to hear your words, My mouth needs to taste your skin
My heart…oh how my heart needs you, Make room for me, And I will never leave
