Standing Waiting Hoping

And they stood

by the fire in their hearts

And the song in their mind

by the light of the stars

and the droplets they shined

Waiting

Waiting for the sunshine galore

Waiting for a spark in their eyes

till their heels went all sore

and quietly hid their cries

Hoping

That the day would come by

and the darkness would die

throw open the doors

and clean up their floors
