Some Mad Hope

Written for my favorite artist, Matt Nathanson.

Feel it close, feel it creeping in
The beauty of your heart, the pain of your sin
The sound of what you create, the sound of what you want
Not a scared voice, not an annoying taunt
But who you are not only in your heart but what in others believe to be you.

A vision, waiting to be wrapped up in passion...
A trust you had to create with just knowing everything was worth-while..

Falling hard, falling through..you want so bad to achieve your goal but what part of it is really you?
You think everything will just appear when you're stuck at the first step, barely seeing clear..
It's like a long, hard journey of not knowing what to become..
What is wrong? What is the way to do it?
What place are you going to have to come from to make it work?
Behind one corner a mad hope lived..
You let everything out filling your heart with the capability of greatness..
And soon everything became better with progess and the spark of love that was felt in each line..
So heartfelt, so divine..
Many songs, many words, the amazing part of letting go into what you learned to be...

Now everything makes sense, effortless and real
The countless times of struggles, the times of when things were servere
It's wrapped up everything that couldn't be done in the past
With the made hope living free in the passion of what you made
It's something to cherish, it's something that will never fade..
For it is you, it is what knocked down the great to become greater..
It is what made your passion turn into an even stronger passion
And it is what made the hope that once lingered every so silently...some mad hope
