Where Light Prevails

In the shadow of the towers, where the empires rise,

People fight for freedom, but the truth’s disguised.

Do they see the hunger, the tears in their eyes?

While fortunes are gathered, the world slowly dies.

Tell me why, oh why, does greed still reign?

Why must the world be drenched in pain?

When will we see through the lies and despair,

And remember the love we all should share?

Will the earth be a shining star,

Lit by laughter, peace, and joy?

Or a burning flame, consumed by hate,

A broken world we could’ve saved?

What’s gained from power, from the wars we fight?

What’s lost when the weak are left without light?

Do the leaders see the cost they pay,

When the innocent are led astray?

Tell me how, oh how, did we stray so far?

From the hope we held in every heart?

What if kindness could lead the way,

Would we see a brighter day?

Will the earth be a shining star,

Lit by laughter, peace, and joy?

Or a burning flame, consumed by hate,

A broken world we could’ve saved?

But what if dreams still dare to rise,

What if light could pierce the skies?

What if love is the key we’ve missed,

A world in peace, a world like this?

What will we choose, when the moment comes?

Will we stand for peace, or fall to drums?

Shall the earth shine bright with joy and grace,

Or burn in fire, a lost embrace?

Will the earth be a shining star,

Lit by laughter, peace, and joy?

Or a burning flame, consumed by hate,

The choice is ours—it’s not too late.
