There must
be a beautiful morning somewhere
A dawn
lit by justice and judgment is fair
A place
where a helping hand is held out
An ear
that will listen stands
poised
and devout
A place
you can go when your heart
needs attention
A place where a
spirit
gets healing and mending
A place
where love's fire burns bright
day and
night And in from the cold
you may
warm by its light
There must
be a brilliant evening somewhere
Where the
sun finally sets on pain and despair
Where the
coming of night is not filled with grief
And comforting
sleep brings you joyful relief
A place
where the sunset is apt to reflect
A day without
malice, without disrespect
A place
where the only tears shed, are for joy
And a heart
is not battered and bounced like a toy
There must
be a wonderful day somewhere,
In a place
filled with love and a
great need
to care
A
place where the burdens of conflict are lifted
Where love
is a skill and all lovers are gifted
Where daily
are spoken the words that support
And every
mistake is not met with retort
A place
where the land has not soaked up the blood
Where honor
and truth are not cast in the mud
A place
where the children are not left alone
Where
Sisters and Brothers may come to atone
Where homeless
and helpless don't cower in fright
Where the
hearts and the minds
of the
world can unite
So you
set on a journey to seek out this land
With compass
and map and a vision so grand
To find
peace and comfort in a world that's so new
Where waters
are crystal and skies are so blue
With showers
that cleanse and winds that refresh
Where the
spirit is fed and not just the flesh
But search
as you may, what you'll find to be true
That
it cannot be found, until it's found within you.
