Plant hope in the barren soul

Be a beacon of light

In someone’s desolate depths,

Be a flare of fun

In someone’s glooming grief.

…

Bring out the childlike cheerfulness,

From their dull dreariness,

Bring the wandering weary home,

And put them to some rest.

…

Hear them speak

About their loneliness,

Then hear some more,

As they open up about their unhappiness.

…

Let them talk

About their sole meanderings,

Give them a shoulder,

As they push a tear into nothing.

…

And when they’re finally empty,

When all their sufferings have been told,

Nourish and nurture them with love,

And plant hope in the barren soul.
