Hope
Is of a feeling
Which raises your spirits so high
Almost as though
You were soaring through the skies,
Hope
Is of a feeling
Which sets fire,
Letting your heart ignite,
Giving it something to burn for
(Desire)
Like bright orange flames dancing
Throughout the night.
But hope
Is of a feeling
That can be dashed away faster than light,
With a flick of a finger
Everything can disappear,
Like a ghost who has mastered the art
Of playing tricks on your mind,
Oh,
Hope...
It is of a feeling
Which can give you an illusion so bright
Drawing you in so close
And then clasping its arms around,
Hugging you so tight,
That once you gasp for breath
And open up your eyes
You will realise
That hope
Is like an anchor being roped round you ankles
Slowly drowning you,
(Sinking you)
Leaving you lost
And alone
And helpless,
Because hope is the one thing
Which can get the better of you
If you're not careful
In guarding your wistful wishes,
Especially those made on birthday nights,
Because hope is the one thing
Which can blind you,
Leaving you stumbling around,
Wondering if you will ever be able
To finally find your way out
