HOPE

In the shadows of the darkness deep in the night
I reached for one star to give me light
She penetrates through of my despair
I called her HOPE, she feeds me peace a foreign feeling strange to me

I walked through life in the shadows of my fears
My past paralyzes any movement for a future
Memories from so long ago, of days I can’t seem to let go
Entrapped by my thoughts they have enslaved my soul

There are some things in life that you just can’t change
So you embark on endless journeys of self-help books
Only to remember more bad holidays and broken dreams
Like a scavenger hunt in search in of un-healed wounds

Desperately in search of the drug that heals all
Only to discover there is no such thing
No matter where I travel HOPE follows me
One light in search of harmony

Of all things that frighten me
I didn’t stop loving the stars of my universe
Only to fear the darkness of the night
The hunt always leads me back to my original pain

So HOPE is all I have to light my way
If you look really hard you’ll see her starlight
Hope leads me to the north
Moving me in forward motion no reason to look back

On bad days her star stays bright
When my memories capture my thoughts
I look to the north and there is my faithful star
When the darkness overpowers my judgment
Hope is there to illuminate my presence
