May There Be No Rain
Porter Ninstant
Born innocent not knowing right from wrong
I was naive
A child in my thoughts so pure but can’t perceive
As I grew I knew the sky was blue with trust all round
But as I flew I saw reality for what it is
IT made no sound
Any place I looked it seemed so safe so free
Yet every year that changed life swallowed the dream
That same dream that gave US speech
not just a voice
it’s pain that we speak
Pain driven by in-difference
Pain rectified and availed to win wars with
Pain is all we know
NOW…no more of this
I wondered for a time where do I go from here
The times of woodchips and bruised knees is far from near
Childhood memories achieved through innocence
A cold world brought up between lust hate and Ignorance
Will not blemish the signs of change
that we now live with
Suddenly change will be upon us
wanted or not we must see the past that haunts us
I don’t believe history will repeat
Only we can overcome us
Only we can stop the light from burning at the end of that tunnel
Only we can keep that flag waving in support of not
who we are
who we were but
who we will be
It is every I us and them that needs to see
That it is we not the individual that is free
No
No
No more
My heart began to change and views seemed surreal
OUR vision saw the ugliness of what was truly real
Why did this happen
Why is there fear
Why so much anger
What is it that we’re doing here
WE will make the difference and let the whole world see
My hope is that’s tomorrow
though I doubt that it will be
For now I’ll make truths and strive to do my part
I’ll fight and search for hope in the dark
May peace reign
May we feel no pain
May there be no rain
May we feel no strain
Make US great again.
