My Only Hope

A fleeting light

From far away

Makes me feel safe

And I can't run away

I've been on the run

Much much too long

I've forgotten fun

And how to sing my song

I've stolen from the poor

I'd steal from the dead

I don't steal anymore

But I give instead

My family is gone

It's not here anymore

When I came around

My life was no more

The mail gathered in piles

On my kitchen floor

It was filled with smiles

From friends who aren't anymore

My room left untouched

Abandoned by all

I cared not that much

I cared not at all

When I entered this place

I found everyone there

They had smiles on their face

They stood eveywhere

My favorite tree stood

Weeping it's willowly leaves

It remained on the hill

Where it grows and it breathes

I live in a bubble

Not made for breaking

There is no more trouble

In the place where I'm waking

I run here to sing

To cry and to laugh

I'm my only anything

My only hope, light and raft
