Longing For Daylight
When will the sun shine?
When can safety and freedom be mine?
Everyone has a purpose
In a world where darkness can be treacherous.
Our generation should take the chance
To help everyone glance at the brightness of light
Light as bright as a child’s face as it plays till night
That only we can ignite.
We must connect ourselves to everyone
We are stars that shine in the darkness
We are a light source that nobody else can dim
We are a force that won’t be stopped
The sun shines today
Our light will never be taken away
For we, and the future generations are the world’s only hope
Through connectivity and humanity
We cope with problems through hope
