Hidden

In a garden of weeds, all weeping and grey
stood a small english rose, as clear as the day
but before I was sure of the wonder I'd seen
It was taken and hidden in the dull sea of green

The sun in the sky, sharing warmth through its rays
was disguised by the clouds, and the chill of the rain
and the rainbow that followed was hidden by storm
as the frost and the ice, they took over the warm 

The budding musician, he was lost in the clan 
The riot that shouted, had blocked out this man 
The dear little cherub sending blessings from heaven 
was unseen by the people and outnumbered by devils 

The laughter of children was silenced by tears 
And their hopes and their dreams, diminished by fears 
The dream of the soldiers was lost during war
as their peace turned to anger and they fought one and all 

The flame of the candle was extinguished and choked 
and freshness of air became thickened by smoke
The innocence of angels was disfigured by hate
As the thieves amongst townsmen would soon demonstrate

Its the truth and the wisdom that allows us to see 
that beneath all this sorrow lies some purity 
Our world keeps on turning, and we search for our faith
but amongst this disruption, love must hide its face
