I thought that it would be appropriate to upload this particular song in light of what happened only three days ago on the streets of London. I wrote it back in 1988 and it's still a philosophy that I strongly hold by. You need to have hope in life, otherwise you might as well curl up and wither away.
Hope
When you look at the world
And see your love,
You think of a spell
That's been cast from up above.
You cry to the clouds,
You cry to the sky,
But the distance you can't travel
Makes a tear leave the eyes.
Finding out the truth
Is harder to achieve,
When the dream you wish for
Is one you must believe.
You cry to the sky,
You cry to the sky,
But the distance you can't travcl
Brings the tears to our eyes.
Chorus
Pray with all your heart
Your dreams will come true in time,
For all the hope you need
Is just by your side.
When you look at the world
And cross that stream,
You break that spell,
You find your dream.
You smile at the clouds,
You wink at the sky,
For the distance you have travelled,
Makes the tears leave the eyes.
Chorus
Hope
When you look at the world
And see your love,
You think of a spell
That's been cast from up above.
You cry to the clouds,
You cry to the sky,
But the distance you can't travel
Makes a tear leave the eyes.
Finding out the truth
Is harder to achieve,
When the dream you wish for
Is one you must believe.
You cry to the sky,
You cry to the sky,
But the distance you can't travcl
Brings the tears to our eyes.
Chorus
Pray with all your heart
Your dreams will come true in time,
For all the hope you need
Is just by your side.
When you look at the world
And cross that stream,
You break that spell,
You find your dream.
You smile at the clouds,
You wink at the sky,
For the distance you have travelled,
Makes the tears leave the eyes.
Chorus
