you can’t have it all but you can have hope
hope lives beyond your fear and your lies
hope holds opportunity, an other gift
hope is the only thing that keeps you afloat
the only thing that lights the way

you can’t have it all but you can have hope
hope ignites the words that ease the hurt
hope burns the demons that haunt you
hope fills the smoke in you lungs
but does not leave it there

you can’t have it all but you can have hope
hope runs fears in the opposite direction
hope takes the void and replaces it with a filler
hope can’t fix your broken soul
it broke your soul

you can’t have it all you can’t even have hope
you’re grounded to the shore
looking at hope floating the ships of your enemies
there’s no hope in the air
their words lied to you
