Hope
V1

There’s an emptiness that dwells
within the chambers of my heart.
‘Tis not the space love occupies,
But it’s tearing me apart.

V2

There was magic in this world,
Wonder, beauty, and awe,
Then in the blinking of an eye,
All hopes and dreams were gone.

Chorus:

Hope is the thing with feathers,
Waiting to take flight,
Perched within our consciousness,
Singing to the light,
Hope is the thing with feathers,
The thing we keep inside,
Singing tunes without words
Until all else has died…

V3

For two long years the clouds did build,
Now there’s no room for the sun,
The seeds we’ve sewn have turned to ice,
The gardening’s been undone.

V4

Froze’ into a glacial stream,
Mountain high and valley deep,
Where warming rays cannot reach,
And fathomless, the shadows keep.

Bridge

Oh, brave Helios, hide no more,
Ride your chariot through the sky,
Melt our hearts with your touch,
Give us courage, we need to try

We need to try!

​

Chorus

Hope is the thing with feathers,
Waiting to take flight,
Perched within our consciousness,
Singing to the light,
Hope is the thing with feathers,
The thing we keep inside,
Singing tunes without words
Until all else has died…X 3
