I never should have stayed to watch this parade. How a city & its leaders put on such a charade where innocent people have innocently paid the highest price in this city where its leaders invited and enticed the rage of its youth to become ugly, uncouth. Don't lose hope, keep the faith. Chorus: ...Wishing you... Happiness more than sorrow, Hopes for a brighter tomorrow, Joy in the goodness of life, Simple times more than strife. I hope you find all your Dreams fulfilled, That in your life, you're thrilled! She dug down deep, then deeper opened her eyes & looked inside. What should she keep, what should she toss aside? The anger she holds needs to go definitely something she needs to toss as does the fear that keeps her near someplace she used to call home isolated, devastated, and left alone. Chorus: ...Wishing you... Happiness more than sorrow, Hopes for a brighter tomorrow, Joy in the goodness of life, Simple times more than strife. I hope you find all your Dreams fulfilled, That in your life, you're thrilled! and, again, the woman put out her arms, "who can help me fill these empty spaces..??" She gracefully fell to her knees... and quietly sobbed, she felt like such a disgrace... she had failed at everything she tried, her life long dreams, just memories in the wind. She had nothing that she wanted, she had all she needed... Solitude, solace, silence, yet there she stood her arms outreached, her hands cupped open toward the open skies. Chorus: ...Wishing you... Happiness more than sorrow, Hopes for a brighter tomorrow, Joy in the goodness of life, Simple times more than strife. I hope you find all your Dreams fulfilled, That in your life, you're thrilled!
