Why do we continue on?
Even though we're beat and done,
We suffer and hurt constantly,
Until we've gone and broken down,
Pain seeping into us,
Pain morphing to agony,
Why do we continue on?

Hope,
A burning candle in our hearts,
A light tended to by our dreams,
A comforting thought,
A burning passion,
A tender flame that warms our souls,
Hope,

Hope guides us,
Through the darkest of times,
Through the deepest of wounds,
Through the pain or emotions,
Through to salty tears of heartbreak,
And the bittersweet memories,
Hope guides us,

And it's hard,
Fighting to keep hope,
To continue on,
To get out of bed in the morning,
To do something,
To do anything,
And it's hard,

Why do we continue on?
Hope,
Hope guides us,
And it's hard.
