Hope is all I have to believe that the sun will rise each morning
So that I can see it
Hope is all I have to believe that the moon will glow bright every night
Hope is all  I have that my love will not fail you
Hope is all I have to believe that my child will come home each night
Happy and smiling like she left this morning
And that street violence will not claim her
Hope is all I have to believe that the rain will not be held back
And fall like it always has and feed my crops with continued life
Hope is all I have that the doctor is wrong when he kicks it away
like a three legged chair and tells me that I have no more time to laugh,
love, or care for you tenderly
or another chance at happiness on another new day
