Can't live without HOPE


All alone on an island always asked what would I take

But now, I'm asked the one thing I can't live without, what would keep me awake

All those nights far from home,

Not knowing where to go, feeling so low,

What to do, how to live, what would keep me alive?

Hope is the only way I could really survive.

Hope is love, it's trust, it's truly everything.

It's something everyone can have, that everyone can bring.

It gives you the desire and takes away the doubt

And to me, it's the thing I can't live without.

Hope gives me a smile, a promise for something good 

Because no matter what happens, hope should

Be what we pray for, our ticket to wherever we choose,

I can wish, I can dream, I can change, I can improve.

Hope can't be taken away from me

Because at all times, I am who I choose to be

With Hope.
