What is there to say
On the darkest of days
What is there to do
When hope falls through
Why, oh Lord, am I here
Was there no answer near
Was I not to fear
Were you unable to hear
In the face of such loss
The sun’s shine seems lost
The joy for tomorrow seems tossed
There is only sorrow in my thoughts
What is there to say
When there is no way
What good are remedies
When the moments have become memories
To you, I say, let the memories flourish
Let not the moments
Cease to live
Let not the pain
Rob from the present
Let not the joy
Forget the past
Let not the anger
Paralyze the future
What is there to say
When darkness leads astray
How can we forgive
When we no longer strive to live
To you, I say, live on
Prove to the night
That the dawn still comes
Prove to the seas
That the tides still resign
Prove to the storm
That the winds will cease
Prove to the grief
That the peace will return
Prove to death
That you still love
Prove to yourself
The you still breathe
To you, I say, live on
