We are what we are

Us lesser mortals
Mock us not!
We are but nothing poor souls...

None too great
None too smart
None too bright
None with too head a start

Yet we are winners
for we are what we are
Yet we are winners
for what we choose to be

None too lost
None too slow
None needs a chance
None needs the flow

we value our two pence
we value our belief of the right
may not have favor on our side
yet will put up a fight

brave not we be
strong not we be
yet choose to stand strong
we are what we are

it may be dim
may not be seen
the absence of it
a result of the screen

open the eyes
look around you
more than meets the eye
more over the horizon

it may be dark
blame not the light
blame your mind
blame not your sight

we are what we are
we are no poor souls...

Hope

I wait for the sun to rise...
I wait for the dawn to come...

Hoping things change for the better...
Hoping the change happens at all...

Hope...hope...hoping away...
Dear god...hope there are good things to say
Don't leave me dejected...
Have good things to say!

The sky is dark
But the dawn is not far
I look with bated breath
for the sun to arrive

I wait with bated breath
for the sun to arrive
to rise up high
to fill up the sky

I pray to god
let it not be an eclipse
I pray to god
let it all be good

Oh Almighty! Make me happy
Let there be a smile
I will be indebted
for as long i am alive

I live with hope
for what else do I have
With nothing in my hands
hope is all I have

I may be scared
I may be petrified
But I hold to all that I have
hope is all I have...
hope is all I have...
