Hope
Hope is right here, call it what you may,
I've brought a flower from the real world today.
No pretended smiles in this, our place, no way.
We gather and laugh with joy in our hearts,
From broken pieces, happiness starts.
Finding ourselves in this world anew,
Letting go of pain we once knew.
See the people waiting just outside?
They're waiting for you,
go to the new world beyond.
Like magic from a flower, spirits fly,
Angels with shining wings light up the sky.
You hear the whispers, you see the tears.
Watchers stand outside, filled with fears.
Why do they doubt? Why can't they see?
The hope and salvation that's meant to be?
Come with us now, relax, we'll care for you so,
When your wings come off, all troubles will leave.
In our safe haven, world, so nice and true,
Sing your dreams softly, let hope shine through you.
