Expectations

What to Expect I wished on a star And I wished for hope See, it's not all about the gold You meet someone And you think my life is complete Yeah, maybe it is But maybe theirs is not And maybe, just maybe You were meant to start all over again Expectations I will find him The true believer Someone who believes in me Yeah, maybe you will You just might But that ain't where it all ends Life is tough And it will get rough But holding on makes it stop No matter how deep you might go Or maybe you feel you're suffocating And you can't breath Just hold on my dear Life is sweet You meet people over and over again You always meet new acquaintances You always admire anew And your wishes aren't always the same You might wish to die today But tomorrow you might wish it all away I know you don't feel this But we do We hear you And we are here for you Just mere strangers Going through the same thing Why don't you just open up to us Breath afresh for once Don't count it all on expectations We don't expect to see your clues Not if it's life and death Let's be frank life is beautiful So it's not expected that you be regretful Dutiful, bountiful All life in abundance We're privileged And hope you enjoy it with us After all we're strangers on the same road Why not unite to defend abroad?... We are one, aren't we? You need me and I need you And this road is our journey Wouldn't want loneliness to devour us Because of our pride Let your guard down 'Cause i need to borrow your lighter To make fire for the night And if you would join me We could sing songs of the bird For tonight Heaven is watching over us And I shall end this with The Lord's prayer For the Lord is merciful
