Hope
I looked up high t'wards clouds and sky
And pictured myself on a kite flying by...
Over and under the breeze gently blew
And off passed the fields and meadows I flew.
And yet I still stand here
My feet on the spot.
I look all around and see all that I've got
My heart feels so empty
My head feels so full
Life's lost its colour,
All else seems so dull.
And then I just notice
Out there in the blue
An arm is outstretched to me
What do I do?
A chance to go flying, to escape from it all
How can I do it, what if I should fall?
I trust it, I need it, a smile reappears
My loved one, my angel, I have no more fears.
