The young child that does believe
that all his wild dreams can come true.
The fighting soldier that longs to achieve
the freedom for his children that he once knew.
The single mother who works two jobs
to try and give her kids a better chance.
The teenage girl who cries and sobs
will derive the courage to go to the dance.
The small town boy who loves football
that hopes to become a star.
The divorced father that finally decides to call
as his mind returns to how his life begin collapse in that bar.
But in the end hope is all we have
for without hope life would be forced to never improve or gain through its past.
