MY HOPE NEVER DIES

Each man kills what he loves

But my hope will never die

Sometimes, I wonder

If our parents raised us too well

Having to be nice when things don't sit well

Making room when I've had enough

Even for people clamouring for more

I give thanks to God for my parents

Everyday of my life

Keep the faith, keep the distance

Friendly at arm's length, for instance

Flow together like brothers and sisters

And sometimes, keep distance like strangers

God is alive, he's the source of my life

When things are tough, my God is enough

When things make no sense, I won't despair

My God is alive, he's the source of my life

I'll keep alive when bad times arrive

My God is good, He keeps my hope alive.
