"When Your Hope Dies"

When your hope dies

Nothing else remains

The warmth is gone

Light fades from the flame

I am so angry

Why give up?

Why let go?

You say you love

But I don’t know

I am so angry

Why do you lie

Through teeth so fine

As if I can’t be hurt

By your twisted lines?

I am so angry

Were I the Hulk

I’d be on my seventh

Shade of green

And going for eight

I am so hurt

That you would prop me up

Only to let me go

As soon, as soon

As the wind blows

I am so hurt

Toss in the towel

Give up, go ahead

But not me

I’m not dead

I’m gonna fight

With every last breath

I will be happy

Before my death

Jesus my hope of glory

I’m done sittin’

He’s my champion

Because “IT IS WRITTEN!”

You want a fight?

You got one

I may not be a warrior

But I’ve got the same God David did

Let’s do this

You taunt

I’ll pray

You gawk

I’ll say

You laugh

I’ll throw

You fall

I’ll go

MORE!

What?

MORE!

What?

MORE THAN A CONQUEROR!

MORE THAN A CONQUEROR!!

MORE THAN A CONQUEROR!!!

I ain’t quittin

While you spittin

You best be gettin

Because “IT IS WRITTEN!”

Your candle melted

And your flame went out

I ain’t quittin!

I’m a victor! SHOUT!

I have hope

This is not the end

The verdict’s still out

Don’t you dare push send

I’ve still got time to SHOUT!

I

Have

Hope
