Hope Springs Eternal

I set out to sea

To find the whereabouts of you

Your disappearance puzzled me

So I began to investigate

Well, seven months ago

You were about to settle down for good

Guess time has come to show

That you doubted if you could

Where have you gone to?

Somebody needs you

I worshipped the man you were

I beg that you’re still alive

For better or worse, I’m prepared

But hope springs eternal in this human breast

I’m losing my mind

I can’t rest before I know

Whatever reason you could find

To leave us bewildered and alone

Now seven seas been crossed

Been following every step you took

Your life’s been wrecked and tossed

in exploitation’s name

I’ll have my revenge

24 hours hence

I worshipped the man you were

I beg that you’re still alive

For better or worse, I’m prepared

But hope springs eternal in this human breast

Forever disgraceful

The way they wrenched and exploited his skills

I pray that I’ll find you, my father

Right at the end of this kill

I worshipped the man you were

I beg that you’re still alive

For better or worse, I’m prepared

But hope springs eternal in this human breast

I worshipped the man you were

I’d hoped I could find you alive

In death we’ll reunite? I’m uncertain

But hope springs eternal in this human breast
