There is always hope

Never give up
There is always hope

There is always hope
Even in the darkest night
There is always hope
Even if we lose the fight

There is always hope
Even when we can’t cope
There is even hope
When there is no hope

There is always hope
As free as the birds
There is always hope
Behind all the words

There is always hope
Like the blue sky
There is always hope
Without asking ‘why’

We just don’t find hope by holding on
But by letting go
And coming back to the heart
That patiently goes with the flow

For in the heart of true love
There is always hope
Hope as if from up above
And we realise that there is always hope
And there will always be hope
Where there is true love

There is hope, of course, in the love
When it is ‘warts and all’
It shall not fall

And yet the greatest hope lies 
In love’s greatest truth
That truly flies
That raises a roof
High up above
Over that love


For then we will have found our real home
No longer to roam
A home that fits like a glove

And where is this truth to be found?
On the solid ground
Right there
In silent prayer

For silence holds the truth
Now and forever more
The truth of suffering
Knocking on the door
The truth of suffering
In itself free of suffering
The truth of suffering accepted 
That makes us let go
The truth of suffering
That, deep down, we all know
