We learned to draw
We learned to listen
We learned to hope
Amidst the darkness

We learned to live
We learned to admire
We learned to laugh
Amidst the blackness

We learned to treasure
We learned to memorize
We learned sing
Amidst the silence

We learned to remember
We learned to dream
We learned to sleep
Amidst the sickness

We learned to survive
We learned to forgive
We learned to love
Amidst the emptiness
