Hope In The Air

There is a man that I know

For seventeen years he never spoke

Guess he had nothing to say

He opened his mouth on judgement day

I listened with all of my might

But was scared by the look in his eyes

Like he'd already lost the fight

And there was no hope ever in sight

No hope in the air,

No hope in the water,

Not even for me,

Your last serving daughter

Why fear death?

Be scared of living

Our hearts are small and ever thinning

There is no hope ever of winning

So why fear death?

Be scared of living

I have seen men provoked

I have seen lives revoked

And I looked at my life and I choked

And from there, no more ever I spoke

But I can't give up that quick

My life is a candle and a wick

You can't put it out but you can't break it down

In the end, we are waiting to be lit

There's hope in the air

There's hope in the water

But no hope for me, your last serving daughter

A friend is a friend forever,

And a good one will never leave, never.

But you're never been south

From what rolls off your mouth.

You will never understand. Ever.

You speak minds handed down to you

By the lies handed down by your truth

Your angels that dance at your will

Will mask your scrambling youth

I forgave you your shortcomings

And ignored your childish behavior

Laid a kiss on your head

And before I left said,

"Stay away from fleeting favour"

There's hope in the air

There's hope in the water

But sadly, not me, your last serving daughter

Pick up your rope, Lord

Sling it to me

If we are to battle, I must not be weak.

And give us your strength, World

and your food and your water

Oh I am your saviour,

Your last serving daughter

There's hope in the air

There's hope in the water

But sadly, not me, your last serving daughter

There's hope in the air,

There's hope in the water.

But no hope for me, you last serving daughter
