Hope

I hope the night kills the day
And I’ll lie in the grass
Look up at the stars and think
You’re doing the same thing

I hope it rains forever and ever
I’ll sing and dance until the waters
Go over my head and I’ll think
Of you on higher ground

I hope the last war is fought
When everybody’s done killing
I’ll thank flower power and think
You’re listening to Jimi Hendrix

I hope heaven opens up to us
And Jesus comes and pats me on the back
I’ll stop doubting all there is and think
You’re doing the same thing

I hope you’ll come my way
And tell me that there’s more to us
Than meets the eye, and I’ll think
You’re a perfect reason to hope
