Hope Is a String Away

Hope is a string away Hope is never too far There is always a way With a robust and strong bar To shatter or crack the glass Of despair, which allows the mass To drown in the dark sea In deep poverty, in sad misery By camouflaged monsters And duplicitous scavengers. Hope is around the corner Can't you see the flickering candle? Ignore the evils who're trying to dismantle You, day and night. You're a fighter You will win the final battle You will become a heroic model An idol for the people who are desperate To live a better life. No one can separate A mother from her children. You have hope You're already cleansed by the holy soap Of decency, courage, pride, and fairness You will find a way to sanitize this mess. Hope is not too far You can use a crow-bar To break the glass of misery and poverty Pretty soon, you'll start making clean money "Great opportunity is everything" Says the wise lady who loves to sing.
