Amidst horror
And terrible tragedy,
You'll quite often see
The very best of humanity.
Look carefully
For sparks of divinity
Smoldering amidst
The cold ashes of atrocity.
In dire poverty
and terrible suffering,
You'll see bright, warm rays
Of the hopeful human spirit shining.
Look carefully, my friends,
For sparks of divinity
Smoldering amidst
The cold ashes of atrocity.
The human spirit is
Totally irrepressible.
The human spirit is
So completely uncontainable.
Look carefully, my friends,
For sparks of divinity
Smoldering amidst
The cold ashes of atrocity.
When things are darkest,
Sparks of divinity glow bright.
And when all seems lost,
There's hope for humanity in the night.
Look carefully, my friends,
For those sparks of divinity
Smoldering amidst
The cold ashes of atrocity.
You'll see that people
Are capable of amazing actions,
Charity, self-sacrifice,
Bravery and compassion.
Yes, you'll often see
Warming sparks of divinity
Smoldering amidst
The cold ashes of atrocity.
