Morning is born in shades of gray An empty echo cuts the way Pride weighs heavy, cracks the ground In silent burdens, greed is bound We don’t need a third mistake A blind leap fueled by sheer heartbreak The story’s bled, its wounds remain Let’s sew the threads of peace again Children play 'neath skies of steel Their future shackled, wounds unhealed Flowers fade without their hue A muffled cry for love breaks through We don’t need a third mistake A blind leap fueled by sheer heartbreak The story’s bled, its wounds remain Let’s sew the threads of peace again The shadows dance on the game board wide Cruel moves are marked where hopes collide Yet hands that sow destruction’s seed Can weave forgiveness, meet the need We don’t need a third mistake A blind leap fueled by sheer heartbreak Let’s join our hands, lift up our voice The future’s ours if we make that choice We don’t need a third mistake A blind leap fueled by sheer heartbreak Let’s join our hands, lift up our voice The future’s ours if we make that choice The shadows dance on the game board wide Cruel moves are marked where hopes collide Yet hands that sow destruction’s seed Can weave forgiveness, meet the need We don’t need a third mistake A blind leap fueled by sheer heartbreak Let’s join our hands, lift up our voice The future’s ours if we make that choice
