I have a dream that I might forget what I have learned
In so that I might remember the silence from where I came,
I have a dream that I might touch the heavens, the same,
I have a dream that in calloused hands,
I hold the stars that caress the blackened skies,
And wipe the tears from every eye,
To mend the shattered bits of efforts past,
Fallen fast, on deafened ears,
I have a dream, it lurks, it leers,
In blackened hearts the stakes are thrust,
The loathsome plunge is cast, the taste is sweet to devil's tongues,
I have dream, that soars above these devilish rungs,
That hold the secretness and fears,
And cry the reticence of joy's return beyond the gloom,
I have a dream,
I have a dream.

"...joy's return beyond the gloom,..."

There will be more gloom ahead. There always is and we will rise above the devil's rungs as you say. Best wishes - Stella
