Hope
hope is a dream
a wonderful thing
like a kite it takes flight
and flies
as high as our string will let it fly
in the wind it twist and dives
but hold on to the string
by my faith i will
hope is a dream
a beautiful thing
like an egg lain to hatch
we wait and wait
and keep it warm
waiting for it to crack
hope is a dream
an expressive thing
a seed we dared to plant
we water and feed
and attend it's needs
till something from the dirt turns green
hope is a dream
a colorful thing
a vision to be realized
we hold to our hopes
and act with our votes
to see our dreams materialized
hope is a dream
a mysterious thing
that most men say don't matter
but given time to pray about
the immaterial becomes matter
hope is a dream
a magical thing
with out it we may as well die
but beyond the clouds
and things that we see with our eyes
is the promise of a great surprise
