Hope

Everyone needs hope. What is hope? As defined by the dictionary, hope is the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best.

When things are looking down and out, it is hope that drives people to move on. In a situation where there's no answers, it is hope that fills the void and gives direction. Religion is all about hope. For some, hope is their only religion.

For without hope, humans will lose their sanity. Without hope, the reason for living or existence will be lost. Sometimes in the darkest of moments, hope is the only strand of light that guides us forth.

Paul McCartney - Hope of Deliverance



I will always be hoping, hoping.
You will always be holding, holding
My heart in your hand, I will understand.

I will understand someday, one day.
You will understand always,
Always from now until then.

When it will be right, I don't know.
What it will be like, I don't know.
We live in hope of deliverance from the darkness that surrounds us.

*Chorus
Hope of deliverance, hope of deliverance.
Hope of deliverance from the darkness that surrounds us.

And i wouldn't mind knowing, knowing
That you wouldn't mind going, going along with my plan.

When it will be right, i don't know.
What it will be like, i don't know.
We live in hope of deliverance from the darkness that surrounds us.

*Chorus

As the slogan of the movie, The Shawshank Redemption puts it: Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free. (See also: Redemption)
