A Girl Named Hope

I went in town today and discovered a new place
Or maybe I was dreaming 
I town filled with tiny lights of hope 
And there I met her 
Although I am of tin and rusted mental I felt her warth

In this place of green and medow pastels I was brought 
A place where nothing dies and nothing is born 
A girl was put here 
Dressed in silk and satin 
She lives a lonely life 
Looking out in an open horizon of space and time 
Placed in a small cabin she longed for a friend 

But now we must move for winter approaches 
A change of season she has never known 
A time where hope is most needed
And so we gather the lights 
With a gentle touch I carry to a place I once called home

So will you come back with me to a special place in town 
where nothing is born and nothing dies
Where all your dreams can come true 
A special place I wonder off to.
