Is it too much to ask for our
leaders to be an example?
For our country to move
forward,
In this needed phase of change?
For citizens
to come together;
Loved ones cease to be estranged.
Is it too much to ask for a brother to lend a hand?
For a sister to make amends;
For a husband to admit his
wrong;
For a wife to try and understand.
Is it
too much to ask for the violence to stop?
For hearts to
soften toward each other;
For loved ones to rebuild
broken bonds;
For children to witness healing that comes
from admitting wrong.
Is it too much to ask to stop
the pointed fingers?
To cease the hateful speech;
To
lessen the name-calling;
To stop abusing our freedom of
speech.
Is it too much to ask for hearts to soften
in alliance?
Forgiveness to be asked and given;
Hatred melting fully into love;
Coming together from the
division.
Is it too much to ask for the slinging to
slow down?
For the right and left to merge toward the
middle;
For the donkey and elephant to make nice;
For
the country to surrender toward the good of all.
Is
it too much to ask that today may surprise each and every
person?
A welcome sign of refuge;
A glorious banner
of truth.
The road toward healing to begin;
A
faithful hope it's not too late.
Is it too much to
ask for friends to overcome;
For families to seek amends?
For our country’s broken ties
To bind united once
again.
