Hope is a thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings a tune without words
And never stops at all.
I've heard it in the chilliest land
And on the strangest sea
Yet, never, in extremity
It ask a crumb of me.
You smile and laugh like nothing's wrong
Seeing you like this I know I have to be strong
Holding back all my tears of pain and sorrow
I'm trying my best to make a better tommorow.
But how could I, when I know I'm alone?
All my fantasies and secrets are still unknown
My heart is slowly dying
Inside I'm silently dying.
I regret how my future will turn out to be
Hoping and wanting so foolishly
Waiting from sunrise till dawn
I stubbornly waited on.
Whenever you need me I will be there
Waiting loyally to show how much I care
Falling, falling down my face a tear
When I'm weeping I hope no one hears.
I don't want pity or sympathy
I'll solve my problem with myself and me
But when I do, nothing goes right
I prayed to the Lord to show me the light.
I'll wait forever if I have to
Willing to wait an eternity just to be with you
I feel that destiny has brought us together
But to have the courage to tell you would take forever.
I loved you so much but you couldn't see, I felt for you in my heart,
but you didn't feel for me, what have you done to make me hurt
so much? It's hurting so bad, I long for your touch, you slammed
the door in my face and left me in the cold, 'I don't want you anymore'
were the last words that you told, I pray every night that you would
come back to me, but it's all in my mind, it's all a dream, what have
you done, why did you walk away? Maybe I will get all the answers,
maybe someday, remember these last words as I hold back the tears,
I will love you no matter what through all these lonely, cold years.
You came into my life when my world was falling apart
You helped to mend the pieces of my broken heart
You lit the flame in my soul from embers grown cold
You chased away the darkness embedded in my soul
You came into my life when I'd forgotten how to smile
Somehow you've made my life once again worthwhile
You brought back my laughter which I thought forever lost
Not so long ago, my heart felt cold as winter frost
You came into my life and chased away all my pain
You brought the sunshine back into my heart again
You came into my life when I needed someone, so
You chased away the rain and brought me a rainbow
You came into my life and taught me how to feel again
You dried my tears which used to fall like rain
The lonely emptiness I always felt is now gone
Once more I can see the beauty of a morning dawn
You came into my life and chased the clouds away
There is sunshine where clouds were once so gray
You took away all the pain which cut me like a knife
I am learning to live again since you came into my life
Behind the bars of steel I hid all love
I locked it tight just waiting for the key
A shooting star wished on by me above
To find the perfect fit to set me free
I thought that I could never love again
I felt as though a child stripped from the womb
No chance I have to see new love begin
But soon the wounds began to heal from doom
The outer side is all that most do see
You saw me as I was beneath the skin
The way I felt I feared to let you see
But different as you are it's not a sin
Not knowing what might come if we just tried
The key did fit and it was love that cried!
see an old sailboat sitting in the garage,
Unused for years.
With only the hope of wind to bring new life,
I take it to the river,
And pull the sail up to catch the wind.
But, like love, though all around me,
It doesn't fill the sail.
I start the motor,
The propeller turns, cutting the water;
As false love has cut into me.
looked through the pages of the past
at what I was, what I wished to be,
and at what I had become.
As I turned the pages of my life,
I saw that somewhere-
in the middle-
I had lost myself.
In the shuffle of life,
and growing up,
what had I become?
Something so shameful
and yet,
I didn't know how or when this happened.
As I try to rise
above and out of the guilt and shame,
I search for a light
at the end of the tunnel.
I try to reach for hand
I can trust with my life-
only darkness there.
I give up hope
of love and worthiness.
As I get ready to sink into my own abyss,
you appear.
Wanting to help.
Wanting to love.
You reach for me.
to save me
but I can't
I can't put up my hand
For I've lost all hope.
Can you pull me out in time?
Even as I await my eternal fate,
you are there.
Suddenly I realize,
you were there all along.
I'll try to find the hope I once had-
but can you help me?
SO I will reach for your hand
to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
All I ask,
is for you to help me,
and not be full of disgust
for what you see in me.
For I know not
how to get back to the place I once was.
I want to,
So will you help me?
Will you love me?
Will you please not shun me?
