Hopes just lie there and die there
Hopes lie there and just die there
Hopes just lie there and die there...
...Hearts don’t let me, down courage don’t desert me...
Now that I know my mind, my eyes do clearly see,
That the world is covered with so many fakes.
......Promises made but was made to bluntly forsake.
Religion twisted to meet every ones brutal needs,
Preachers, teachers with distorted versions do feed.
The sweet fragrance all exhausted by careless hands,
With war of words exchanged from land to land,
The tongue let loose and the white soldiers stall,
Sees the end of peace and happiness as it falls
Dims a vision of hopes, that may never surface
Shattering, tattering the trembling earthly face.
Alas a dream of a wonderful life, sees a sad end
Concern to many heartaches.. none did ever lend.
A child is born with peace that ceases, to surely be
Love that runs away, sweet dreams that no longer be.
