Hope in Yourself

Hope in God, He’s not near.
Hope for love to reappear.
Hope for fame but it will flee.
Hope for friends to clearly see.

Hope for a career, it will end.
Hope for money that you can’t spend.
Hope for health but sickness calls.
Hope for children without your flaws.

Hope for peace, war ensues.
Hope that you have paid your dues.
Hope for freedom but chains still grip.
Hope in Hope and you will slip.

Hope in yourself, there’s nothing else.
You hold the key to life.
You have the power to change it all.
And end your inner strife.

Hope in yourself and nothing more.
You only have one chance.
The answer is within you.
Awaken from your trance.
