my hope

when i was young i dreamt of place
that would belong to me
i dreamt of land with no map
a place of mystery

when i grew up the world was mapped
and miracles were rare
my land had sunk i lost my hope
to find it anywhere

but now that hope is revived
my life can start anew
you look like you can be the one
i put my trust in you

and if you change the whole world
replace its weary face
you’ll take me out of the dark
you’ll fish me out of space

we’ll cross the desert and the sea
to where my memories
will never die and never fade
but always stay with me

and yes i know we’ll find the land
new to the smallest grain
and then i shall give up my fear
and shall forgive my pain
