Lyrics
Hope
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The clowns have come to rest
The Jester's sold his soul
The world has lost its laugh
Humankind is turning cold
It's time to say your grace
It's time to call your friends
Start your laughing instead of crying
Cause the end is nowhere near, yeah
A man died of fear today, they say he lost his way
Time bomb in Central Park, don't go out after dark
It's time to say your grace
It's time to call your friends
And start you laughing instead of crying
Cause the end is nowhere near, yeah
Heaven only hopes, heaven only knows
To see her children just laughing
Not dying for someone's faith
Hope is what she gave her love for
Fear because she's been alone before
Fate so that you'd fight a holy war
I still don't get it, heaven only hopes
A child was born today, pure innocence of heart
Hope bristles from her smile, fate laidens in the dark
It's time to say your grace
It's time to call your friends
And start your laughing instead of crying
Cause the end is nowhere near, yeah
Heaven only hopes, heaven only knows
To see her children just laughing
Not dying for someone's faith
Dying for someone's faith
Dying for someone's faith
