There Is Hope

 

 

You used to smile

You used to give me joy

When we saw the stars in the sky

No tears were there

So many shooting stars, crying for us

 

You used to say

You loved the South Pole star

Though he canÕt be found anywhere

Up in the sky

 

He will always live in your soul

As said in an old Chinese fairy tale

Long lives are given to hold out your hands

Then let us now use them to help

 

 

There is hope

There is hope

There is hope that youÕre going to live

Above the troubles and sorrows weÕve seen

ThereÕs a better tomorrow

This we can believe

 

There is hope

There is hope

There is hope that youÕre going to give

Above the troubles and sorrows weÕve seen

ThereÕs a better tomorrow for us

This we can believe

 

 

Now, in our loss

We donÕt know how we smiled

As weÕve passed down each road

We have found so many tears

So many sorrows cover the sky

 

Now I want to help you smile like before

I can be by your side when you need me

I can help you to stand as you did before

I can help you to paint stars in the sky

Remember that youÕre not alone

 

 

There is hope

There is hope

There is hope that youÕre going to live

Above the troubles and sorrows weÕve seen

ThereÕs a better tomorrow

This we can believe

 

There is hope

There is hope

There is hope that youÕre going to give

Above the troubles and sorrows weÕve seen

ThereÕs a better tomorrow for us

This we can believe
