Dare to Know

Dare to know that there are warm days
when you're freezing in the rain

Dare to know that there's an end 
when you're struggling to run a race

Dare to know that there is kindness
untainted by selfish gain

Dare to know that there's truth
hiding in the mound of lies

Dare to know there is  beauty
in the ugly terror of the storm

Dare to know there is silence
in the numbing roar of war

Dare to know that when people lash out
it's cause they can't hold in their pain

Dare to know that you're alarm clock
is going to stop beeping someday


And if you can't quite dare to hope.
That anything good can be.
Maybe just dare to hope, that maybe there's some truth to be seen
In the goodness and beauty and light.
Maybe it's not a fantasy.
No.
The day is as real as the night.
