So, I’ve started a series where I’m writing songs about people. For @books-of-lunacy‘s song, she requested that I just write a song about hope. About being hopeful or things that make me feel hope... just... hope.
So! Here we go... A Song of Hope.
This world can really bring you down, it can tear you to the ground
This world can really make you frown and turn everything upside down
But even in the darkness, there’s an everlasting light
It shines through you, your smile, and your ever-present might
You push through all your sorrows, push your demons out the door
You smile through the pain and kick your hurt down to the floor
You’ll never give up, no you won’t and do you know why?
Because even though there’s pain, there’s also reasons to happily cry
The sun comes up, even after a full, dark night
A rainbow spreads across the sky after a rain drenches the sky
The sky turns blue, after hours of having dark and stormy clouds
And you, my beautiful, wonderful friend, know how to raise eyebrows
You’re loved, you always will be, because you’ll always have people like me
People that just want you to smile and be as happy as you can be
Remember the rain isn’t here to stay, just keep your head up to the sky
And one day you’ll see a rainbow and you’ll no longer wish to hide
The world can pit us against each other, but let me tell you, my friend
There’s nothing and no one and no reason I’ll ever make this friendship end
You’re amazing and warm and friendly and sweet and I have so much love for you
Everything in this little song, I promise you, is completely true
You’ve been great to me, I’ve been great to you, this friendship will last
And nothing you’ve done, nothing you’re doing, no piece of the past
Will ever make me doubt our friendship, or the hope I have for you
I’m hoping, I’m pray, I’m pleading to god that all of your wishes come true
The sun comes up, even after a full, dark night
A rainbow spreads across the sky after a rain drenches the sky
The sky turns blue, after hours of having dark and stormy clouds
And you, my beautiful, wonderful friend, know how to raise eyebrows
You’re loved, you always will be, because you’ll always have people like me
People that just want you to smile and be as happy as you can be
Remember the rain isn’t here to stay, just keep your head up to the sky
And one day you’ll see a rainbow and you’ll no longer wish to hide
I guess it’s about that time right now that this song comes to a close
And there’s just one last thing that I wish for you to know
I look forward to our talks, every last one, the hours and hours they last
You make me smile, my heart feel full, so don’t think resentment, I cast
I’ll always cherish our time together, even if it one day comes to close
And my friend, I guess that’s it. That’s what I wanted you to know.
Just remember, my friend, that you are loved, no matter what you do
So never doubt that you deserve to be happy because, my friend, I love you
