Today I cry
Today I pray
Today I feel
My heart in pain
Today my flag bleeds
Today my flag
Is frayed to tatters
Let\'s hoist the flag
Long may it wave
The storm thought it
Brought destruction,
Grief and much pain
We soon found out
Hope & love reign
They’re not gone;
Our people have
lost their homes,
possessions too,
And for our people
Many sacrificed
Their lives, but when
The flag is hoisted,
And they see it
waving, they think
of Puerto Rico
Restored again;
It ‘ill not be
the same after
This hurricane;
They’ll be stronger,
They’ll rebuild
They’ll be more
Alive than ever before
Their hope is to
Rebuild their lives,
Their hope is the
Promise after the storm.
Their hope whispers
great things to come,
It leads gently
Through pain, through suffering.
It’s God’s grace,
It’s the beauty
In people’s hearts,
It’s the neighborly
sweetness, kindness,
The light at the
End of the tunnel.
Yes, their hope is
Their strength, their faith;
Their land split open,
Their eyes looking up
Though the country
Is in ruins, their hope fights
The mud, the water,
Hands dirty, sweat, tears
On their faces.
Hope stands with them
Amid despair.
Hope covered in scars,
Hope laughs again
They’ll not give up,
Hope gets them up,
Again, again, again.
