Hope

When the world's a predator,

And you are its bait,

When you pine for that someone,

And the longing makes you wait,

When a million scars,

Are not enough to make you hate,

That's when you know,

that it's not the world's end,

That's when you know,

that your faith cannot be bent.

 

 

When deceit derails you,

And makes you weak,

When traitors surround you,

And a faithful friend, you seek,

When defeat awaits you,

And you still hang on to that final creek,

That's when you know,

that you are not at flaw,

That's when you know,

that it's not the last straw.

 

 

When your past is dark,

And your future bleak,

When others leave a mark,

And you are numb and meek,

When you know they will decieve,

And you still do not cease to believe,

That's when you know,

that it's not the world's end,

That's when you know,

that your faith cannot be bent.

 

 

When you are bereft,

The only one left,

When you are ripped into two,

And your heart weeps with woe,

When life shatters you with ten thousand blows,

And you still refuse to slow...

That's when you know,

that you are not at flaw,

That's when you know,

that it's not the last straw.

"When you know they will decieve, (deceive)
And you still do not cease to believe" great line, such a powerful message here.
