Hope Is the Cure To Loneliness

I end up insecure like a homeless individual,
Going through the streets of sheer cruelty
I desire to be mighty like you, my faith fuel
Blowing like the breeze of mere uncertainty

Hope you're happy where you are...

Well, I have packed up all my things
I'm about to head to another country 
I will see what this lovely life brings
Maybe, I will wondrously be free 

I hope you shine like a midnight star...

I am done fighting for the crown of recognition 
I am backing down my guard of glorification
I accept my fate at hand
Don't stand where I stand
I am aware of my decisions made here
And I dare you to try to change my mind 
I am not afraid or cowering away in fear
I'm staying right here...made up my mind and choose to unwind

I hope you are motivated to the highest bar

I am just a man
A man that tries his best best he can
To find solace in the oddest location 
I am just a boy
A boy who has unbroken, blameless joy
While wandering around in anticipation

Hoping you are zealously zooming like a car

Don't follow me
In the woods of oblivion 
Don't even see me
As I attempt to zero in
On a prize I have yet to win
On treasure through thick and thin
Don't hear my echoes 
Don't stick your nose
In my business again
Don't fence me in...
Don't fence me in...

Hope your success takes you far 

You said aloud:
Swallow your pride
In the rowdy crowd,
I try to hide...
Subside from my side
Subside from my side
Abide elsewhere...
You still don't care...
I prepare for the worst
Or for the better 
I think I might just burst
You still wear your I-don't-care sweater

I hope I have healed your shameful scar

I end up insecure as a widower in the rainstorm
I am a spider without his meal, left starved and hopelessly dyin'
I wish someone out there will mend my scars and keep me warm
Now, I've come to realize that I have become a brazen lion

Hope you don't mind me keeping your words of enlightenment in my jar

It's hard to fathom 
This feeling of numb
This eerie isolation hurts
I long to be strong 
I hope, one day, I will belong

Let us both hope that we belong and end this greed war...
For we fight for peace 
And for peaceful unity, nothing to bizarre
Oh Lord, give us peace

Not to mention hope...
