holding onto your heart
is like trying to grasp the wind
catch it only for a moment
than its gone again

keeping love close 
is trying to hold something that isn't there
no such thing as love
in hearts so unfair

keeping the world at peace
is the worst of them all
too many countries in poverty
too many chances to fall

then there is that little ray of hope
the light so dim and unseen
it gives us the strength to carry on
making life a little more serene

and there are the friends
who are actually true
they help you when your down
they stick by you

there are the lovers 
the most true of them all
they see through eyes of only hope
never are their deeds small

impossiblities do come true
people with hope and inspiration make it alright
they take the dim ray of hope
and make it a little more bright
