Perhaps Now This Will Last
A sweeter love is coming
Old hurts are fading fast
A nicer note is humming
Perhaps now this will last
A gentler word is pealing
Sad terms are fading fast
A kinder touch is healing
Perhaps now this will last
A brighter star is rising
Low aims are fading fast
A stronger hand is sizing
Perhaps now this will last
A deeper need is birthing
Slim odds are fading fast
A higher wish is girthing
Perhaps now this will last
A greater faith is waiting
Bad trials are fading fast
A broader hope is mating
Perhaps now this will last
A clearer day is dawning
Dim mists are fading fast
A newer zest is spawning
Perhaps now this will last
