Lyrics

Slippery slope: the rabbit hole of faith and hope.
Belief dis-eased by cynics ease and tragedy.
Precarious edge of history ? forget the past, repeat the doom.
How to hold onto light?

*Defeat Despair! Hold tight to care,
deep breath, breathe love, breathe peace.
Forget the fight, the flight, the fear;
stand firm in love and peace.

Elastic steel: the ebb and flow of passion?s zeal.
Truth twisted by politics and media.
Hope dangles by just a thread, but oh!
That thread?s connected to the web of life and divine love. *
