Exact Same Coin

Exact Same Coin
What grabs a hold
Of a downward gaze
Shifting a saddened despair
To an unseen hope in the stars?

Could it be
That the unknown
Is not humanity's greatest fear
But its greatest hope?

After all
It's from what we know
That we define and develop our fears
And it's in mystery we discover new hope

We fear for our lives
So we find hope in an unknown future
A future with the potential
For something better

If only people who feared the unknown
Would find hope
In knowledge
A new understanding

It's not about being
Open-minded
Or even open-hearted
It's simply about hoping

Hoping to know
