Hold Your Hope

Hold your hope firmly in your hand 
Let not the wind cart your dreams away 
Like you're holding a magic wand 
Let your hope be with you to stay 

Let not the wind cart your dreams away 
Plunge your feet firmly where you stand 
Don't let the night steal the light of your day 
Time will tame the scourge that wraps the land 

Plunge your feet firmly where you stand 
Light will soon alter the shades of gray 
Time will tame the scourge that wraps the land 
Let your smile dazzle and be gay 

Light will soon alter the shades of gray 
When your dreams come true, it will be grand 
Let your smile dazzle and be gay 
Hold your hope firmly in your hand
