Hope lives within the heart

Given life to fly in dreams

Showing us our true desires

Helping us to live and aspire

Aspire to heights but never trying

Dreams lives are slowly dying

Lost again and wonder why?

Look inside as hopes die

(Who killed hope?)

So mesh the gears and grind the teeth

This working machine beats beneath

Plough the furrow and grind away

Escape fades day by day

Sojourn!

Now stand up, its time to face,

Your disgrace and realise

Is this how your dreams end?

Slain before they can fly?

Pride fades and joy erodes

See your heart as it corrodes

Realise: You did this

And die inside!

(Who do you blame, when hope, is gone?)

Look in the eyes as the Soul dies

You tell me you’re surprised?

How many times did you compromise?

Your dreams before they died?

It seems there’s always something

A reason to not to live

So much comes before dreams

Look inside; can’t you see? You’re DEAD!
