Hope Survives

Even when the stars refuse to shine,
And shadows creep where light once played,
When love is lost, and dreams decline,
In silence, where the heart is swayed,
Hope survives.

Even when tears like rivers flow,
And all the world feels cold and far,
When every path seems locked below,
Beneath the weight of every scar,
Hope survives.

Even when the night consumes the day,
And memories fade in bitter winds,
When every word is left to fray,
And pain is where the soul begins,
Hope survives.

Even when the heart begins to break,
And fear holds tight with chains of doubt,
When every step we take is fake,
And joy feels lost, a fading shout,
Hope survives.

Even when the road ahead is blurred,
And nothing seems to call us near,
When every voice is lost, unheard,
In darkness, where the light is sheer,
Hope survives.

Even when the world is wrapped in grief,
And life seems harsh, too cruel to bear,
When dreams collapse beyond belief,
And every prayer hangs in the air,
Hope survives.

Even when time steals what we have known,
And we are left with shadows pale,
When all we’ve built is overthrown,
In quiet hearts, where echoes wail,
Hope survives.

Even when nothing else will stay,
And all we trust slips through our hands,
When even love begins to stray,
Hope remains, like shifting sands,
Hope survives.
