Hope, what a brutal thing
Oh the way it stings
Coming down like rain upon your desert sands
Hope comes riding in
Makes you think again
Just when you thought you'd folded up that losing hand
She breaks into a heart that's broken
Blowing all the doors wide open
I'll keep hoping til the day I die
Hope what a brittle thing
Oh, the way she sings
Coming down to light upon your prison wall
Hope first you start to cry
Then you wonder why
You got so lucky ever to be born at all
She breaks into a heart that's broken
Blowing all the doors wide open
I'll keep hoping til the day I die
Some may say it's better not to dream
Sometimes I can see just what they mean
On a very lonely day
I'll put my foolish dreams away
Face the world exactly as it seems
But then she breaks into a heart that's broken
Blowing all the doors wide open
I'll keep hoping til the day I die
Til the die I die
