Always there shall be
a Glimmer of hope
God willing
(and the creek don't rise)
Grasping at straws
you say
Hope against hope
you say again
Hope springs eternal
you show them how
Keep you fringers crossed
you walk and try to see the
Light at the end of the tunnel
you wish
On a wing and a prayer
and you whisper to
Pin our hopes on
that man
Shooting for the moon
and that woman
Wish upon a star
