THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...)
have I forgotten?
why do I ask?
maybe something's missing from my life
do I pretend?
have I turned rotten?
take me to task
tell me what I've been doing
for the past several years
writing endless lines of rhetoric
when I should have been shedding tears
tell me what I've been saying
would it touch on your fears?
if I ask for the truth will I get it?
or will I just get applause
or jeers
what does it mean to be a friend?
am I a madman?
why do I ask?
maybe there's something missing from me
do I defend?
am I a sad man?
take me to task
I seem to give everything to anyone
who seems to show me that they want to care
I seem to leave nothing for me except these words
but are these words enough to share?
I seem to be in this world to serve you
and all I ask for in return is love
I seem to still be looking for it
why does everyone point above?
what does it mean to be in heaven?
what does it matter?
why do I ask?
maybe something's missing from my mind
when I was seven
I licked the batter
take me to task
what does it mean to be a God?
to be pure love?
why do I ask?
maybe there's something missing from my heart
am I a retard?
I have no doubt about what I dream of
take me to task
I seem to live as other people pray they do
and wonder why they pray when they can do
I am far from perfect, but my intentions
are as pure as love can be true
I seem to scare away the ones who are afraid
and that leaves me inside all alone
wondering if anyone will understand
what you only believe in
I have known
so touch me now
and take me to task
for truth and love
that's all I ask
and if you must hurt me
to ease your pain
I'll try to be strong
again
what does it mean to be in love?
why don't I remember?
why do I ask?
maybe something's missing from my heart
push comes to shove
a frozen December
take me to task
I don't want to hide
my purpose on this ride
and I have always tried
to let someone inside
I have laughed and cried
and been bitten by pride
felt lost and denied
but deep in my inside
I know I never lied
and if you want to see what's inside of me
tell me the truth in your love, open your eyes
you will see what you really want to see
even if you have to tell yourself lies
and I wonder how much is fantasy
when I know that it's all real
I may doubt myself but never doubt love
and that is all I want to feel
so touch me now
and take me to task
for truth and love
that's all I ask
and if you must hurt me
to ease your pain
I'll try to be strong
again
I seem to live as other people wish and dream
and wonder why they wish when they can live
I don't need to wonder what it all can mean
as long I have something to give
I seem to give away everything all the time
no better way has ever been shown
wondering if anyone will understand
what you only believe in
I have known
