I Cannot let Hope die

Do you know those times?

When you try and always fail

When discouragement sets in

And you fear you never will?

Well I think I am a prey

To those dreary emotions

Because doing certain things

Is not in my disposition

But the longing never ceases

The feeling never leaves

There are times where I even

Wished I could fly away with the breeze

There are times I want to give up

And not even bother to try

But I find that I simply will not

Because I cannot let hope die

I will not let hope go

Though I improve but little every day

I will not let hope go

Because it is not the end I say

There’s still more for me to live

There’s still more for me to achieve

So I cannot let hope die away

No, I want it to stay

But I know it is hard

Harder than I can say

But I cannot simply stop

Because my nature is in my way

No, no, I will carry on

Though I fail I must be strong

I will always continue to try

Because I cannot let hope die
