Copied from FearfullyHuman:
You say you see no hope,
you say you see no reason we should dream
That the world with ever change
You're saying love is foolish to believe
'Cause there'll always be some crazy
with an army or a knife
To wake you from your daydream,
put the fear back in your lifeLook if someone wrote a play
just to glorify what's stronger than hate
Would they not arrange the stage
to look as if the hero came too late
He's almost in defeat,
it's looking like the evil side will win
But on the edge of every seat
from the moment that the whole thing begins...It is love who mixed the mortar
and it's love who stacked these stones
It is love made the stage here
though it looks like we're aloneIn this scene set in sorrow
like the night is here to stay
There is evil cast around us
but it's love that wrote the play
And in this darkness love will show the waySo now the stage is set,
you feel your own heart beating in your chest
This life's not over yet,
so we get up on our feet and do our best
Play against the fear, play against the reasons not to try
Playing for the tears burning in the happy angel's eyesIt is love who mixed the mortar ...
