Given what we know

Given what we know and what

We fear about the trouble we’re in

We will bounce babies on our knees

We will run fingers through loose earth, and

We will love one another

Given what we know and what

We fear about the state of the world

We will feed strangers

We will dance to the skirl of fiddles, and

We will pray

Given what we know and what

We fear about just how much is broken

We will sing

We will light a candle in the empty church, and

We will plant trees

Given what we know about and what

We fear about the end of things we hold dear

We will laugh

We will walk the woods that remain, and

We will sing
