Can We Sing the Darkness to Light? - Kyle Pederson
What if instead of more violence
We let our weapons fall silent? No more revenge or retribution No more war or persecution. It could be beautiful. What if instead of our judgment We soften our hearts that have hardened? Instead of certainty and pride We love and sacrifice. It could be beautiful. Can we see the other as our brother? Can we sing the darkness to light? Sounding chords of compassion and grace Set the swords of judgement aside Let mercy's eyes See the other human face. |
