After The Storm

*inspired by Mumford and Sons and my interest in looking beyond the fight for equity and toward what life will be like when we get to our destination*

There will come a time you'll see
With no more tears
And hate will not break our hearts
But erase our fears

Get over this bridge and we will see
All we fought to be.
Grace will await us over our bridge
As we fight to erase the decay

I won't rot. I look up and I won't rot.
I'll hold your hand.
We must know life to see decay
We won't rot

I look up on my knees and out of love
I look up.

We won't cling to what we know
We will let go of all we have
We won't die alone
I'm scared of what's behind us but eager for what's before us
And there will come a time
With no more tears.
And this hate will not dwell within us
For we will see the sun.
They all will have erased the decay from their hearts and from their minds.
We will run
And I'll look up out of love
And we will finally know life.
