If there ever was a day that kept the homefires burning,
If there ever was a night
That shed warmth on the recipients of its darkness,
Then I believe there is hope.
If there ever was a dying child who found comfort in a mother's
touch,
If there ever was reconciliation
To the desperation of the poor by the drop of a coin,
Then I believe in love.
If there ever was a time a smile broke through your tears for
another's sake,
If there ever was a moment
You shared hope and love through the pain of your own breaking
heart,
Then I believe in you.
