Hopeless
I don't have anything to build on
All the world is decay
Love is rarely found
Today
I cannot find
A heart that beats in time
With mine
The rainbow hides behind the storm
All has changed
Been rearranged
Home has been destroyed
Many are unemployed
I can't revisit
The place I used to be
Tho' I clutch at the memory
My heart is torn in two
As I long for
The girl I used to be
Where has it gone
The haven where I once belonged
As I sang the unheard song
Oh please Lord grant rest to my soul
As I ache for yesterday
Where love beckoned me
And great neighbours were normality
What happened to the days long ago
When green fields held a glow
And the heart understood
All was good
Fear was absent then
Everyone was friend
Oh take me back there again
