Keep Hoping

Keep Hoping

Keeping time from going
From all those worries
That have been and gone
Keeping me company for a long time
Hearing the tide come and go

Weighed down by my father
Hoping for the arms of mother
But it gets to me sooner rather than later
Looking back to those years
No escape from all that has been

But I’ll keep holding on to hope
Keep holding, keep holding, keep holding on,

Keeping my tears at bay
As nothing here has grown or changed
Wasted all those emotions and tears
And nothing has changed for good 
It seems as nothing ever could

But I’ll keep holding on to hope
Keep holding, keep holding, keep holding on,
That’s all I have to hold on to
It will get better, so I will keep hoping
