My first attempt at a bit of orchestration. Hope is the sort of song that ou don't write until you reach a certain age.

lyrics

HOPE

Well I’ve still got hope, after all these years
And I’ve still got faith, enough to get me there
I’ve still got love down in my soul
These three things are going to make me whole

Well I’ve still got breath, here I am again
And I’ve still got words to say the things I want to say
I’ve still got dreams hidden in my heart
They don’t seem like much sometimes
But that’s where I start

Well I’ve still got angst, it rises up some days
I’ve still got a few questions now and then
About the Narrow Way
And I still get afraid of the dark at night
But if I know you’re somewhere near
I’m going to be alright

Blessed are those who stand and wait
We’re all lined up at the Pearly Gate
Blessed are those who still believe
One day even the blind will see

Well I’ve still got days out in front of me
And I can’t see much up ahead
But one thing I can see
Is that I’ve still got hope and faith and a song to sing
With a little bit of love thrown in I’ll have everything.
