Two men look through the same bars
One sees the mud, the other sees the stars
When hope is there, everything is there
You have the inner drive to do and to dare
With optimism to lead - you can carry on
You can see the sunlight as soon as the blinds are drawn;
Without it, there’s nothing to look forward to
And you live a hole-in-the-corner existence too
The world seems dreary, the future dull
There’s just no music in the squawk of the gull
But if you search for the gem that’s hidden in everything
It will confidence and strength, in your heart, bring
Hope will lead you on, on life’s path:
Like a horse that draws cheerfully the cart
So, Hope, for it will help you to achieve all that is best
And then you can leave your Fate to do the rest…
