How could the world stand in the rain of hope br With the desire to be owned in part as a whole? br br How could the dream stay alive without end br As wonder taints the strangest trend? br br How could one claim to secure such peace br When life remains darker the cease? br br How could man stand up to his will br Tough courage required to calm his quill? br br God, grant me answers to these difficult thoughts br And ease my pain that each one has brought!br br mandara pookalbr br
