Once More

Once I knew what love was
I felt like I was sure
But then I saw the world's reaction
With disregard, it showed no cure

Bickering and fighting and shedding a tear
Overwhelmed,
Was it just fear?
Fear by its totality
Or was love not reality?

I eventually closed my thoughts
And drifted away
To a place I had fallen
Feeling fear and dismay

I stood on emptiness' edge
I was alone
Yet with the rest of the world
Unstabley cold as stone

With emptiness I continued
Seeing signs of hope along the way
From heaven I saw it in the face of children
And the truth in what they say

I saw the simple silence of innocence
And that spark that I believed in
I told my self the words
Again and Again

Once more love's truth came to me
As I remembered was so clear
Something that I couldn't explain
I'd realized was so dear
