Hope


If I were trapped

On a desert island

The one thing I would need is

Hope

 

Hope to know that all is not lost

That I can make it through 

That there's a light

At the end of the tunnel

Hope

 

A storm comes rolling in

Trying to dash my Hope away

I stand tall

Enduring it

My faith giving me strength

Hope 

 

You may have a phone

Or food

Or GPS

But if you don't have Hope

To fill your soul

With courage

Then what do you have?
