Because it hurts

Fall asleep,

Wanderers of the world,

Dry your tears and rest.

Collapse from sheer exhaustion

Be found instead of lost in

This broken world with shards of glass

Leaving scars as we fall.

Some die too young,

While innocence is ripped

From the bleeding hands of the children.

And they starve to death

As we scrape our plates.

Is it too late?

God, to redeem this broken place?

Let us rest our bleeding hearts.

And help us know

The reason to wake in the morning is

Hope.

That this is not how it was meant to be.

That there was once a perfect home.

And that there still is a God on the throne

Who weeps with us.

Who bleeds with us.

So, sleep in his arms tonight, child.

And know that this pain is not the end.

That this pain is not the end.

This pain is not the end.
