In the Wake of Adversity

Hey Patrice don't cry

they've no reason to harm you at all

They don't realise

that the angels surround you with light

They don't understand

their narrow ways defeat them where they stand

They don't realise

you hide your sadness beneath a painted smile

Ignorance

that light of fools steers a wayward path

and sets the course upon which we sail

into the night of uncertainty

Following the stars

that make their way across the sky

Valuing the love

that lends grace to our hearts

We sail
