"As hope keeps watch across the dark"

Justice delayed but not denied What was before no more because We had to rise but how they tried To stop the ninety-nine for one When we forgot then or we thought We did we hid our hope inside But now that we remember we Have never been we want to be Whatever it means to be free When it means everything to me I too who have been pushed too far I too then rise to my surprise When history feels like a kiss As we remember who we are Who waited all our lives for this And now that we remember how And what and where we see us there That we are why right here right now Forgetting fear for now and here The revolution has begun Spring has come for us after all And tonight it sleeps in the park American spring in the fall As hope keeps watch across the dark +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMXI
