GLIMMER OF HOPE
~ A Day In The Prison Life ~
We are the same
You and me
The look in your eyes
Is one of pain
Seeking for a glimmer of hope
The limp in your stride
Is one of struggle
Yet the tears shed
Release and relieve
Grant a momentary levity
As I look into your eyes
I see all of us
We are the same
Sisters, brothers, fathers, mothers
All looking for the light of day
The glimmer of hope to restore our way
I wonder what has brought you here
What roads, which forks
Where you went left instead of right
Which pain did you choose to befriend
The one that betrays in the end
As it trips us up and holds us down
To choose a better way
To walk a narrower path
To dream a bolder view
To live instead of waste away
We are the same
You and me
