Hope

I wrote this while listening to the song of the same name by Eagle Lake

Why do we arise,

Look up to the glowing Sky.

Because hope keeps us alive.

Running toward the next achievement,

Shaking hands on our agreements.

Because in a world ailing from lies,

Hope is our treatment,

AND keeps us alive.

Though the skies may be grey,

Though the clouds may block the sun's grace.

We can't let the clouds push away hope for a brighter day.

So carry on my friends,

And keep your coveted caution close at hand.

But in our hearts we will remain as hopeful as we can.
