Hope

As the sun rises lazily over the hill

Getting her skirt caught in the trees

Taking her time to stretch her warm arms

And engulf us in the embrace of a new day

We have hope...

As the cars awaken with a growl

Revving their engines as they quench their thirst

Hungry for the road and eager to explore

They take off running

We have hope...

As the soft breeze gently whispers

Sweet secrets into the leafy ears

Of the trees and grass

And carries the perfume of jasmine

We have hope...

As the birds awaken

Singing a sweet melody

To the butterflies and the bees

In this orchestra called life

We have hope...

We have another day

Another chance to try

To love

To live

To have hope...
