Hope in Darkness

I'm so tired of the anger
That comes straight from the top
And weary from the wondering 
When will it ever stop
I'm sick of all the ignorance
Prevailing in this land
Hatred based on color
Is something I can't stand
How did knowledge become evil
Is compassion out of style
When did a smirk of arrogance
Replace a friendly smile
I thought we were getting somewhere
Now we're moving in reverse
I thought things were getting better
But they're only getting worse
But the dream lives on forever
And it always will endure
In the pilgrims led by love alone
In the hearts that remain pure
Don't give in to the anger
That you see everywhere
Hold on to compassion
And let them know you care
Because ignorance is dying
But not without a fight
And our children and their children
Will somehow find the light
