Hope Never Fades

The ability to see reality was never the gift you expected.
But I promise, there’s something more.

I know we’re standing on the edge of the cliff…
And I’m telling you now…
“Baby, just don’t look down.
We’ll never hit the ground.”

Let’s dance in the midst of our problems.
Because God knows we’ve had enough of the sorrow
[and the anguish and the tears
and the fear that holds us in place]
Dripped in sour names and
Bitter phrases.

But don’t jump now.

I swear to you, I have more than one last
Trick up my sleeve.

Don’t give up on me now.

You’ve got me and that’s got to mean something
[just a little something,
Anything?]
Because I can see that maybe you need me.

I’ve got the keys to your rescue and I promise
I’m already by your side.
You’re living in those nightmares
And I just can’t stand it.
There’s not a damn thing left to hide.

I understand.

I know we’re standing on the edge of the cliff…
And I’ll tell you right now…
“We could never fall down.”
