Until Then
this is when i see
the river split
between my feet
the song fall
out of my lips
the devil dance
close to my bed
this is when i see
the people who believe
and those who only know
how to hate
this is when
i learn to believe
when everyone else
stands beside me
this is how i know
i am doing something
when people turn
and say i love you
or i hate you
this is how i know
i am alive
each word
i take
and remember
the verse
love your enemy
do good to those
who hate you
love those
who spit on you
this is when i see
the truth that we live in a world
where no matter
how much i try to love
people will turn
and use it against me
this is the battle
i was afraid to fight
but now i see
each bit of darkness
has a chance to be turned into light
if i just follow my heart
and let go of all my fear
anger
and open my eyes
to see
the specks of truth
inside
