Hope of Life



Stop, Listen, by our sides
I hear the sound of a brothers cry

He was saying, what a world
What a life, what a place to be
Is it true, will it stop
Or is it meant for me

I have love and also fun
In many different ways
But then I think of meaningless things
That slave me day by day

But then I say so very strong
The hope of life will carry me on

Oh don't get me wrong,
I'm not weak, I can cope
It's just at times I lose that hope

Hope of life, it's turns me off
Turns me around the hope that
Lifts me up when I'm down
