Please keep that dog from his door It visited me, now it is no more As it crushed the carbon and coal Into the diamond of my soul Reborn into something new Now I pray for each one of you Who may have to face the dark But in the night don’t forget the spark That issues from your core It clicks like a lighter til a furnace roar Drowns out the blaze I pray for the people the sun will save In the midst of ruin I think God knows what He’s doing But that doesn’t stop the doubt from rising I see the ones who are barely surviving And those who have crossed But everything is not lost Even when you think it’s done The human heart is precious, each and every one
