Invincible

Anonymous (internet based) expansion on a quote by Albert Camus (1913-1960) Adapted by the composer.

In the midst of hate, I found there was
within me, an invincible love.
In the midst of tears, I found there was
within me, an invincible smile.
In the midst of chaos, I found there was
within me, an invincible calm.

I realized, through it all, that in the midst of winter,
I found there was within me
an invincible summer.
Invincible calm, invincible smile—
Invincible love.

No matter how hard the world
pushes against me, I know
There’s something stronger,
something better, something
there within me pushing back—
An invincible summer.
Invincible calm, invincible smile—
Invincible love.
