Hope

What is this miracle I feel?

As if an arrow of light pierced through me,

And awakened me from my nightmare.

What is this strength that pulled me up,

From the deep pool of dark despair.

Like the golden ray of sun you entered me,

You warmed and enlightened my soul,

Surrounded me with a shield of light.

In dark night of anguish

You allowed me to see the stars once more.

I was able to look up and see a sky of blue,

Through the gray cloud of dread.

It is you, isn't it, dear friend?

Indeed it is.

Hope!

I knew you wouldn't abandon me in my time of need,

When shadow clouded mind and soul,

I knew you would be able to break through the wall of hate

And reach out to me with your fair hand.

I thought you once lost.

Tears escaped eyes, as a storm escapes the clouds,

And a sea of blood stained the great earth.

I thought my spirit would die,

Before I would see your white ray.

But you came, you came, my life-long companion.

Please, hold me in your strong arms,

Hold me to your pure heart,

Hold me tight and never let go.

I don't want to loose you again.

Promise me you won't leave my side.

Promise me you won't turn away.

Promise.

Promise me.... Hope.
