Hope

Why do you expect me to lay down and die?
I won’t sit here all alone I won’t start to cry
I’ll pick up my heart and take off once again
I’ll seek out the sun not hide in shadows rain
Love is liberating or so I’ve heard them all say
So I’ll be liberated and face this brand new day
Hope there is even though I can’t see its light
In my eyes I’ll see it there still shining bright

Why do you think I was going to break apart?
I won’t be beaten I’ll take back my little heart
I’ll lift myself up off the ground and I’ll go on
There’s joy out there somewhere it’s not gone
Love is freedom it lifts you then sets you free
So I’ll be free to seek and find my own destiny
Out on that road there’s much for me to seek
Hope is there from out of the clouds it’ll peek

Why do you think I’ll forever be sad and blue?
I won’t stay around here and I’ll not bother you
I’ll pick myself up, and shake those tears away
I’ll find a brand new place for my heart to stay
Love is delightful it carries you up into the sky
So I’ll find delight and stretch my wings to fly
Somewhere up ahead I’ll be flying again free
Hope beckons me on calls come home to me

Why do you think I’ll always be seeking you?
I won’t beg or plead and to myself I’ll be true
I’ll lift up my heart and then I’ll heal my soul
I’ll take this lesson and I will be again whole
Love is magical it frees your spirit and it lifts
So I’ll find magic and keep it as my hearts gifts
Upwards and onwards I’m going on to find me
Hope is waiting out there to bring me victory
Marsha
