I see hope
An ember in the dark
Restrained from thinking 'fire'
I watch and wait
I see smiles
Licking from that dying spark
Restrained from thinking 'fire'
I watch and wait
I see joy
Exploding from that licking flame
Restrained from thinking 'fire'
I watch and wait
I see death
Ash falling from a burnt out shell
I know I've missed the fire
I watch and wait.
