The Mourning Of Lost Hope

The people have turned against me
And I don't know what to do
For the stars are ever shining
And the sky is ever blue

The rivers are still running
And the mountains, they still stand
The generous keep giving,
The lonely still need a hand

My pockets they are shallow
I have nothing left to give
Without a helpful gesture
I see no reason left to live

I will keep on trying
But it's hard to carry on
The earth will keep on turning,
Long after I am gone

I'd like to make an impact
But I have much left to know
And the life left in my heart
Was abandoned long ago

The birds will keep on singing
There is no room for change
The snow will still settle
On the lowly mountain range

The crow will keep on calling
And the frog will still croak
The bitterness still in my throat
Leaves only room to choke

So take these words of sorrow
And keep them in your heart
So if tomorrow I'm not there
For you it's a fresh start
