Hardship does affect
Everything in this World of Shame
A man is measured by how much
That he can endure pain
There’s only hope to lose
Can you embrace this truth?
There’s only hope to lose
Are you really free to choose?
There will be oppression
As you try to make your climb
But the power of hope will overcome
Those who want you to decline
There’s only hope to lose
Can you embrace this truth?
There’s only hope to lose
Are you really free to choose?
In the Vale of Sorrow
Is illusion to be tamed?
You have nothing to lose but hope itself
As you survive from day to day
There’s only hope to lose
Can you embrace this truth?
There’s only hope to lose
Will you let yourself be used?
Hope
