Better World
by When Forever Ends

Album: Return to Your Rest

We all feel the pain
From hate reaching out
Surviving to suffer
Can't be what this life's about

Will 'we 'ever find relief
Before 'these days turn to the night 'of the thief 1

Every week births a new war
Can we hope to reclaim what we we're created for?

Is there hope for a better world?

I want to be the exception
Against the growing frost2
Fan the flame - There is much to gain
From the void of what was lost

Standing in the gap
While either side divides
Is red in tooth and claw
The only way to survive?3

Intercede my groans4

God, do you hear our cries for mercy?
Weeping into the night
We are exhausted by terror
Is life worth the fight?5

Listen!
A symphony has begun
To drown out the clanging
Of a life without love6
We are nothing without love!7
We are nothing without love
We are nothing

Wake up and rise
You have the light
I can see it from your bones bursting
Do not miss a chance
You have the heart inside
To heal a world that's hurting8

Love we've known has since grown cold
"How could this persist?"
Keep your face fixed like flint9
On the blaze burning in the wilderness10
I believe in a hope for a better world!11
Make me a hope for a better world!
