I choose hope
And if the stars begin to fall
We will wish on them, dear soul
Until the very last ones remain
Still gleaming, still clinging,
Against the rise of night
The way they always do.
I choose hope
In this unpredictably brutal world
Full of harshness and hidden softness too
Seeking out the tender moments
Until the very last ones remain
Like treasure chests glowing
In bleak, unlikely places
The way they always do.
So very beautiful.
