Still A Reason

When the darkness settles in,
every trace of light has disappeared,
the last piano note has played,
and the final rose petal fallen

is there anything to hope for?
When dreams have faded,
and everyone has disappeared,
is there still a reason to live?

I believe beyond all of this,
in the coldest of winters,
through the harshest storms,
during the darkest of nights,
in times of tragedy and despair,

there is a purpose for everything
that happens on this earth,
and that we're not all alone
through every challenge we face.

Regardless if the reason is known,
every action we do, every word we say,
and every relationship we have
points us in the way we should go,

As the sun continues to set
day after day, never failing to rise again,
the moon continues to glow,
lighting a way for the lost to see
following the trails of stars,
somehow we'll all make it through
