When Hope Collapses Around You
Posted: October 17, 2010
A call to look up with faith…
When it seems like all hope
has been buried alive,
when you're trapped and convinced
that you'll never survive,
when your memory fails you
of times you have thrived,
from the darkness of doubt
just look up.
If the source of your joy
has collapsed on itself,
if your future's in question
because of your health,
if both Wall Street and Main Street
have stolen your wealth,
from the darkness of doubt,
just look up.
Though you struggle to breathe
from the lack of fresh air,
though the walls that you've leaned on
cave-in everywhere,
though you aren't really sure
if the world is aware,
from the darkness of doubt
just look up.
