Tomorrow's Hope

Tomorrow’s Hope

All That I’m living for,

All that I am dying for,

All I cannot ignore alone in the night,

All Alone and more,

The ghosts of memories in my sight.

Can you understand me

After all I’ve seen?

How can you love me

After all I’ve been?

The moon casts her watchful eye,

The stars like tears from my eyes,

Watching as the years pass by,

A world I don’t belong to.

Dreams that I cannot cling to,

Mistakes that I cannot undo,

My life always such a mess,

Leaving me with pain and regret.

I close my eyes and see your face,

I hear your words calling me,

From another time another place

Still in love with my sorrow,

Need to let it go for tomorrow.

From living in the dark I know myself,

Feeling like a cracked dusty cup,

Just hidden upon a shelf.

Can I let it go?

Can I move on alone?

To change a heart so cold and bear,

To hear the heart beat that is there,

The sound so strange and loud,

The sunlight beaming from inside a cloud.

I am a flower growing from the ground,

Laughter I hear, a new and lovely sound.

I am in chains, in prison, I must break free

If I am to find the real me.
