Begin Again...

 

There in the fire

deep in the flame

I see your face

I remember your name.

Distant yet close

in isolation

it's true

we're all losing (a little) our mind /

But please, all I ask

(in difficult moments)

is that we don't lose

our ability to be kind.

And there in the fire

deep in the flame

May we burn away our fears

our hurts & our shame.

A new world's a-coming,

and in the absence of cars, aircraft

 birdsong

it'll return /

Spiders will be welcomed back into our homes,

ancient rituals and songs

we'll re-learn.

For there in the fire

deep in the flame

May we never lose hope

we can begin

again.

Yeah, there in the fire

deep in the flame

When all else is ash...

Love will remain.
