Hope

Hope is one of those things that spring eternally. I guess to give up hope is simply to give up. If Sheryl Crow is indeed correct, if every day is a winding road to getting closer to feeling fine, then hope keeps us on that road perhaps helping us at those cross roads.

Today's tune, simply title "Hope" by Alien Ant Farm is a good start. For crossroads that present themselves. While the tone and theme to this one is quite sad, possibly even a little bitter I guess I can relate quite well.

Hope is the thing I'm feeling today.
Walking a mile out of the way,
I still might make it though.
Turn on your street
And See a car.
Finding our home a house of pain
See in an instant
things can change
And never feel the same.
Turn on your street and see a car.
One where I thought mine should be parked.

If that's what you demand,
Then that's what I'll deliver..
If that's what you demand,
Then that's just what I'll give you.

Trenches dug out the side of the road.
(Trenches dug out the side of the road)
Remember the smell of earth in piles.
(Remember the smell of earth in piles)
And there was nothing else to do,
And there was nothing left to do
But walk for miles.
So I walked for miles.

If that's what you demand,
Then that's what I'll deliver.
If that's what you demand,
Then that's just what I'll give you.

Turn on your street
And see a car.
Someone I thought was a friend
to me has ripped a hole in my life.
Someone I thought was a friend
to me has gone and married my wife.

If that's what you demand,
Then that's what I'll deliver.
If that's what you demand,
Then that's just what I'll give you.

If that's your master plan,
Then I wish you two the best together.
If that's what you demand now,
Then that's just what i'll give you.

But... "Hope is the thing I'm feeling today."
