Espoir

I should have known

That scattered pieces can never make a whole

I should have known

That the color of freedom can never be coal

I don't know who I am anymore

But still I stand tall

Standing tall has never been easy

And success does never come freely

I know this, I've always known this

Yet I try and I try

Harboring a hope that never dies

This hope I wear around my neck, I place it on my shelf

I assure you there will be no white flag on my door

For I will strive and I will survive

Even if it means I die

I know that this too shall pass… this too shall pass
