Bright, blesséd day, the dark sacred night,
Allows the time construct to pass,
From life to death - the eternal fight.
We struggle to find and maintain the light,
Within a world of war, so crass.
Bright, blesséd day, the dark sacred night,
Passes each hour into the twilight,
Of a life filled with broken glass,
From life to death - the eternal fight.
We try to leave our mark - do what's right.
We protest, try to stand out from the mass,
Bright, blesséd day, the dark sacred night,
Closes around us - we are small and trite
In the universe, even with our sass,
From life to death - the eternal fight.
Fight we must bear the scars, keep in sight,
The glory and grace that come to pass..
Bright, blesséd day, the dark sacred night,
From life to death - the eternal fight.
