Wayward Hope

To think the unthinkable 
To live the unlivable 
To dream the impossible 
And seek the unreachable

Going where I'm going
First being where I've been 
The courage to conquer it all
It has to come from within

Cracked like a cinder block 
It keeps reviving itself 
It lingers on to keep me strong 
It'll take me through to the end

One moment fleeting 
But always on guard 
It has a life of its own
And pushes on diligent yet worn

Just when I think it's sunken too low
It rises up with a force and lets itself be known 
A drifter at times yet always so close
That Wayward Hope that knows me as Home
