This poem was inspired by the song "Our Hope Endures by Natalie Grant".

We Stay Strong
What . . . . Oh What can be said?
Can we but mourn for the recent dead?
Laden with lead hearts,
As our path parts,
There is a silence that creeps over all.
Staring us in the eyes
Even with our cries
Our love is as strong
It can carry us along,
Even as the wall falls.
As the clouds gather in the distant sky
We aren't afraid to try
Try to glean hope
From our steady downward slope
As we bury our heads in sorrow.
For you see as a race
Whatever man would face
We band together
Like buds on heather
And head into the morrow.
And Lo! We can hail
That we will never fail
To stand up against
A pain so advanced
We've run out of tears.
But now there is more
We've had it in store
Finally something new
To cry to
After all these years . . . .
The light of the world
As we march forward,
We bow and we weep
At his mighty feet
Come at last.
As he led us along
We knew to stay strong
And before we could blink
Now all we can think
Is that was fast.
What . . . . Oh What can be said?
Can we but mourn for the recent dead?
Laden with lead hearts,
As our path parts,
There is a silence that creeps over all.
Staring us in the eyes
Even with our cries
Our love is as strong
It can carry us along,
Even as the wall falls.
As the clouds gather in the distant sky
We aren't afraid to try
Try to glean hope
From our steady downward slope
As we bury our heads in sorrow.
For you see as a race
Whatever man would face
We band together
Like buds on heather
And head into the morrow.
And Lo! We can hail
That we will never fail
To stand up against
A pain so advanced
We've run out of tears.
But now there is more
We've had it in store
Finally something new
To cry to
After all these years . . . .
The light of the world
As we march forward,
We bow and we weep
At his mighty feet
Come at last.
As he led us along
We knew to stay strong
And before we could blink
Now all we can think
Is that was fast.
