There is more light than darkness.

There always has been.

There is more good than evil,

More love than hate,

More intelligence than stupidity,

More hope than despair.

And it shines in the darkest corner of the world.

Out of the eye of a child whose heart is touched

By the shining of the moon at night.

And it rests in the heart of a young man

Who sees a world that needs to change

And promises that he will change it.

And it resounds on the seashore

With every crashing wave

As the waves say

“The shore will never keep us back,

Never keep us back.”
