I’m longing here

Beneath the stars

And hoping for a miracle.

That one day

The hate will fade

And love will conquer all.

I have this dream,

That peace lies here,

Covering the Earth

In its warm embrace.

I hope for a love

For everyone

That is unwavering in strength.

Because when I wish

Upon a star

I feel tears burning in my eyes

And I hear my pain

Aching in my voice—

Because all I’ve ever wanted

Was to be loved

Unconditionally

By those who are

Supposed to be

My family.
