One Day
one day
they were here
then they were gone
find the torch
find the batteries
see if the shadow is caught
if you can set it free
before it is brought
by the red fire sea
one day
it was all blue
then is was like a rainbow
colours i never knew
find the torch
find the blessed few
see if hope is caught
as we sail like a river barge
when hope is caught
do not it go away too fast
James Garratt – Sunday 7th April 2002
