a sudden silence

somewhere we know there's room for hope and change
but every morning we've got cause to doubt
that in the face of danger we'll be stout

the winds and clouds our senses all derange
what can the future be but hellish rout
somewhere we know there's room for hope and change

the world we have each day becomes more strange
what was a whisper turns into a shout
the inner certainty is soon left out
somewhere we know there's room for hope and change
