The sweet ebony sky
With diamonds all alight
Swears such promise
That my dreams come true tonight
Whispered words for wishes
Spoken hopeful to the dark
I ask for peace to come
Before the morning lark
And within this calm existence
It appears it could come true
That this peace could lye within us
That the destruction will end soon
And maturity could persevere
Over ignorance and lies
That serenity reign
Over human heart and sky
But alas I come to reason
As the sun awakens eyes
That this world in covered darkness
Burrs such everyday lines
That show us our misgivings
Our greed, our sin, our pride
Those don't allow for peace
For they corrupt from the inside
So despite their hopeful promise
My wish they cannot give
For they cannot stay the night
So that my dream for peace may live
