Walls Against Hope

Hope is a diabolical trade
it sets the heart and soul to be played
a chance for broken dreams to be filled
compromising the soul to be killed

If I told you how I felt today
would you take those thoughts and run away
or would you stay to comfort my heart
and give me reason to trust our start

The music sounds different to my soul
there's part of you that makes me whole
If my heart trusts to reveal that thought
would the fulfillment be all I've sought

Walls against hope are in our nature
keep us from rising up in stature
Secret desires, wishes to fill
to let them out is a bitter pill

Lightened

Place your light around me
and light my darker days
Let your peace surround me
and forever guide my ways

When it was dark you came before me
a distraction from myself
Reminding me to live again
putting problems on the shelf

Let your peace surround me
and fill my heart with love
Let your guidance strengthen
like an angel from above
