in the wake of adversity

hey Patrice don't cry, they've no reason to harm you at all
they don't realise that the angels surround you with light
they don't understand, their narrow ways defeat them where they stand
they don't realise you hide your sadness beneath a painted smile

ignorance, that light of fools steers a wayward path
and sets the course upon which we sail into the night of uncertainty
following the stars that make their way across the sky
valuing the love that lends grace to our hearts,
we sail...
