RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CORONAVIRUS SERIES
The Light
Pray for forgiveness
Pray for second sight
End this madness
Follow the light
For we have lived too long
Suffered too many lies
Cried too many tears
Sacrificed too many lives
To hang our weary heads now
And give up the good fight
Find your courage and
Follow the light
For I have witnessed darkness
And I have seen its face
It always pretends to care
As it fills our empty space
But we reject their message
As we stand for the right
Stern your resolve
Follow the light
For we have dwelled so long
In the caverns of darkness
Even the thought of light
Delivers palpitations of the heart
Our eyes close in fright
As if thought alone
Could damage our sight
Discard all distraction and
Follow the light
For we have breathed this toxic air
So long we think it’s healthy
When others have nothing
Having something seems wealthy
And we have sought our comfort
In shared grief and mourning
So long it sings us goodnight
Stand up stand strong
Reach out for the light
Come now the light will guide you
Into our mother’s loving arms
And it will make you whole again
And it will make you strong
Let it raise you to its lofty height
Find your strength inside
Come home to the light
