To live, truly live, Is to stand unbroken, fierce and free, In the face of sorrow, injustice, and greed, And keep your spirit alight. Yes, to live is to see— To watch the dark crawl, twist, and rise, And yet refuse to bow your head, Refuse to close your eyes. The world would swallow whole Each tender spark, each gentle flame— But we are embers, old and wise, That burn beyond the blame. Hold fast, you who cherish love, Who know the pain of holding grace— The world may strike, it may deny, But it will not douse this flame. The greatest challenge, fierce and bright, Is to witness wrong, yet hold the light.

The Challenge of Light
To live, truly live, Is to stand unbroken, fierce and free,
In the face of sorrow, injustice, and greed,
And keep your spirit alight.
Yes, to live is to see—
To watch the dark crawl, twist, and rise,
And yet refuse to bow your head,
Refuse to close your eyes.
The world would swallow whole Each tender spark, each gentle flame—
But we are embers, old and wise,
That burn beyond the blame.
Hold fast, you who cherish love,
Who know the pain of holding grace—
The world may strike, it may deny,
But it will not douse this flame.
The greatest challenge, fierce and bright, Is to witness wrong, yet hold the light.
