Hope floats a boat


Sky above me and water all around.

I could lose my hope, hope of being found.

I won't though, I will keep my hope.

I will keep hoping as I build a boat.

...

I don't know how to build a good boat.

But I do have a boat, and all I need is my hope.

My boat will not sink,

This I do not think,

Because

I've heard it once said,

that hope floats a boat.
