Shall I Hope
Shall I hope?
Is it safe or is it right?
Am I hoping for nothing
But a black and empty night?
Hope should make me happy
Hope should make me dance
Because I just keep hoping
For me. not a chance
Why does hope keep leaving me
Shaking in the darkness?
Why does something so good
Keep making me feel so helpless
Shall I hope to hope?
What difference does it make?
Fate, she will soon find me
And that will be a big mistake
Does fate regard my hope
Does she even care
Am I shooting for an answer
That simply isn't there
What sort of hope leaves pain
I thought hope should leave joy
Why should I dare to hope
Cause it's just some demons ploy
I do not know, dear people
How can I begin to dare
To hope for something
That simply isn't there
Shall I hope to hope
In a hope that leaves me dry
Oh people,To hope how can I dare
To hope in hope? How can I?
