Sometimes hope
flickers in the dawn
wondering
what the day will bring

sometimes hope
flickers in the night
wondering
will the shadows leave me

in a valley
there are giants
closing in we feel
circumstance danger
or even disaster
losing grip
on steering wheel
losing control

sometimes hope
seems to vanish
wondering
will we make it through

one more step
one more day
one more hoping
nightmares will fade
giving way to dreams
giving way to sweeter times
when the clock in the hall
rings in those new year chimes
