A Million Cranes


A Million Cranes

By May Kwek

Fold me a million cranes
A thousand is not enough
To get by in this crazy world
So unpredictable and rough

For it winds and it bends
In shadows and in mists
Nothing clear, nothing certain
But that it exists

So yes fold me a thousand cranes
And then a thousand times more
For with so many living wings
I’m sure no one could fall

For their wings could bear up a dream
And spark a perennial hope
And with stubborn dreams despite anguish
And with faith we can cope

And find a way to go on
Despite the trials of life
The dark moments, the silence
The conflicts and the strife

So yes fold me a million cranes
And give them wings to fly
Up to the heavens to shine as stars
Against the world’s night sky

And there let them fly forever
Yes, forever and a day
Until our faith is strong enough
To bring us the rest of the way
