Hoping for the hope to dream

Like an iridescent humming bird
Tapping painted flowers on paper lanterns
with searching beak
You are a shockingly beautiful miracle
Hungering for what can fuel your quest.

Hoping for the hope to dream
Seems all there is to do
Loving in the meantime
Seems all there is for you....
You're hoping for the hope to dream.

You're a monarch winged in gold like fire.
Your trembling strength is stronger than the wind
On which you fly
To a place you'll know just when you find it
Knowing where you're going but not quite why.

Hoping for the hope to dream
Is all there is to do
I'll love you in the meantime
I'll hold that hope for you
You've held my heart in yours so many times.

There's beauty so intense it rips my heart
The way you take my hand and try to smile
There's love so fierce
I want to give you impossible things and
Everything else too so you won't cry.

Keep hoping for the hope to dream
Its all there is to do
I'll love you while you're waiting
It's the best thing I can do
I hope you'll find the hope to dream.
