People say I talk all day But I talk to hide the pain I want to say I am as fragile as a spider’s web I see the world as if I’m dead The only people that care live on a cobweb I lie sleepless in my bed Wondering when my world will end Do I have a single friend!? Hope Hope is one word It makes our day It gives us a reason to hang on just a little longer Hope is like the sun that rises but never sets Hope is the thing that tells me to be what I can be Hope gives us the faith to believe Hope helps us truly love It gives us life Life is nothing without hope You lose hope you lose your will to live Hope is there for you It supports you through the hard times Hope is the stable ground under our feet We are strong with hope at our sides It helps us to believe in this thing we call life Hope is God himself within usWww@QuestionHome@Com |
