Hope

There's a light that's shining now

And a calm wind in the pine

For the fate of a fearsome travesty

Seems to have forgotten me

Seems to have forgotten me

If it hasn't learned by now

Where I've hid so very long

I'll come safely out into the silence found

In the wake of its passing on

In the wake of its passing on

A Spartan smile and westward stare

Hold a promise in the air

That's the way they used to find their own way home

By the stars on their own

By the stars on their own

While I pray for Promised Land

To replace all I have made

Darkness steals the light I bear

And the hope of a lifetime fades

The hope of a lifetime fades

In the newfound reverie

Of quiet peace I found

Freedom comes from being unafraid

Of the heartache that can plague a man

The heartache that can plague a man

A Spartan smile and westward stare

Hold a promise in the air

That's the way they used to find their own way home

By the stars on their own

By the stars on their own
