In Hope

In hope this little angel will be free from all of their poisons

And in hope I grind my knees into the floor

Praying that he'll never have to feel this pain I have felt

Walking through glass ignorant of the pain in my feet

Sweet little hands, innocent face so unaware of what lies in waitingIn hope they will be forever waiting for you

And in hope you will never look back and hate these days

That I've held your hand

Falling away, changing each day to his own fate

Until I am needed no more for his comfort of his joyIn hope they will be forever waiting for you

And in hope you will never look back and hate these days

That I've held your hand

Falling away, changing each day to his own fate

Until I am needed no more for his comfort of his joyIn hope there's an answer, and in hope I cry

And I am beaten just the same by this subtle game

As he breaks away, I takeI turn my face to the sky for a way to decline

These fairy tales that will mold into nightmares

This fate laid out in my hands

Unatoned I descend into my own indecisionIn hope, in hope, in hope I can turn this page

Falling away, changing each day to his own fate

When I feel him go running on his own

Wait for something more there is not
