We Watched

As we stood and watched, tears of blood fell from the Lords eyes

They fell beyond this world

Beyond my reach and into the darkness of despair

There we stood gazing upon this rotten world

We watched

We watched as, innocent people were wiped out by hate, poverty and disease

And as bloodied woman were dragged screaming into shadows

We watched as governments bathed in the stench of corruption

And as dreams were crushed under society’s cruel gaze

We watched

We watched as families were torn apart by war and as humanity gave their lives without knowing why

And there we stood until the sun broke through the screams of darkness

As I stood and watched, tears of hope fell from the Lords eyes

They washed my hands clean and soaked into the earth

There we stood gazing upon this beautiful world

We watched as mother earth lovingly fed humanity on her swollen breasts

And as strangers held hands as if they were brothers

We watched as lovers found freedom entwined in their naked flesh

And as dreams come true

We watched

We watched as new life was born into this world and with it came a new hope

A new hope for humanity, a new hope for a world often lost to moral decay
A new hope for us all

We Watched
