Hope -  Fearless Soul

I was down I was out
I was feeling so low
I’m trying to stay on top of things
I was all on my own with nowhere to go
it’s so hard to find my way

but no matter what
I’ll pick myself up
I have to dig deep
get back on my feet
I will reach my dreams
I know it’s not easy
there’s so much more in me
impossible is nothing

I have hope
I have hope
I still have hope
I still have hope
I can lose it all
but they can’t take this from me

I try and I try but I keep on losing
sometimes it hurts so bad
I cry and I cry but I keep on moving
I know there’s light at the end of the tunnel

but no matter what
I’ll pick myself up
I have to dig deep
get back on my feet
I will reach my dreams
I know it’s not easy
there’s so much more in me
impossible is nothing!

I have hope
I have hope
I still have hope
I still have hope
I can lose it all
but they can’t take this from me

if I have hope I’ve got it all
if I have hope I’m not alone
if I have hope I’ll get unstuck
if I have hope I’ll never give up

I have hope
I have hope
I still have hope
I still have hope
I can lose it all
but they can’t take this from me

and now a story with a message. 

Think before you act

There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She
hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for
her. She told her boyfriend, 'If I could only see the world, I will marry you.'
One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages came
off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend.
He asked her,' Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?' The
girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The sight of his
closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected that. The thought of
looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him.
Her boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to her saying:
'Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before they were yours, they
were mine.'
This is how the human brain often works when our status changes. Only a
very few remember what life was like before, and who was always by their
side in the most painful situations.

Followed by something to reflect on : 

“If I had my child to raise over again:

I’d build self-esteem first and the house later
I’d finger paint more and point the finger less
I would do less correcting and more connecting
I’d take my eyes off my watch and watch with my eyes
I would care to know less and know to care more
I’d take more hikes and fly more kites
I’d stop playing serious and seriously play
I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars
I’d do more hugging and less tugging
I’d see the oak tree in the acorn more often
I would be firm less often and affirm much more
I’d model less about the love of power
And more about the power of love.”

Cole's Song 

I feel that the love around me
Has come from another world
I have lost love
I have found love

From the moment you were born
I could see a new beginning
Come to me, let me tell you how
How I've lost love

And now I've found love
In a world of broken dreams
I was wrong
To deny your feelings

And I'm sorry
If I've caused you pain
I was lost then
So confused then

And I believe that
You would change that
There are broken hearts we can mend
Through the music we've learned to love again

Through the sad notes
Through the years
There were times when I just couldn't tell you
And now we've come

To an understanding
And I'm sorry
That it took so long
I have lost love

I have found love
From the moment you were born
I have lost you
And now I've found you

Let me feel your heart
Let me hear your song
