The Pain That Plagues Creation

As this planet falls around the sun
Trapping us in the orbit
Creation groans in unison
Like a race of frightened orphans
The darkness of this raging storm
Is covering up our portals
But a yearning for the light is born
In the heart of every mortal
And day to day we ache
With the pain that plagues creation
Night to night we lie awake
And await its restoration
Heaven knows our lonely ways
Heaven knows our sorrows
Heaven knows things that we don’t know
And the joy of eternal tomorrows
But through this glass we dimly see
This world as it was made
Oh and the good we know must surely flow
From the heart of a kind creator
Day to day we ache
With the pain that plagues creation
Night to night we lie awake
And await its restoration
So hold on in this restless age
And do not fear your shadow
Your alternating tears and praise
Are prayers that surely will matter
Oh and day to day we ache
With the pain that plagues creation
Night to night we lie awake
And await its restoration
