"Hope Springs Eternal"

I've been waiting for so long
Tried so hard to keep it strong
I've faith that my heart can know no wrong

Hope springs eternal like a flame
And we have no need to cast the blame
It's gonna be a long lonely summer of pain
And all of these memories will remain

Hope will encircle and embrace us, keep us tight
Cross every hurdle
With its beacon right before us (shining)
Shining bright

I've got a yearning to be near
Know my intentions are sincere
As I peer through the mist
I shed a tear
