Hope Is a Wish
Pessimism grows in the mind of the old;
they question everything that they've been told.
And seeking answers that nobody knows;
in the mind of the old, pessimism grows.
Aspirations get lost in youth's shadow;
hormones no longer fuel life's gusto,
And our unfulfilled fantasies get tossed;
in youth's shadow, aspirations get lost.
Time opens our eyes to the faults of Man;
and old age wonders if God has a plan.
Believing love will never compromise;
to the faults of Man, time opens our eyes.
Hope is a wish, wanting more, never less;
for reality is life is a mess.
And having tasted lobster, we shun fish,
wanting more, never less; hope is a wish.
