About Hope

Hope is when you see

The castle on the hill

Shining right besides

The blue Danube

Minutes before dawn

 

Hope is when a stranger kid

Waves at you

At the airport

For no reason at all

 

Hope is when your good buddy

Gives you his last cigarette

Before you hop on a bus

Which will get you

At the other side of the continent

Over glamorous capitals

And across green mountains

 

Hope is when your long lost friend

From college

Welcomes you to his shack

With beers, cocaine and joints

And an eccentric weird cat

Which has a cat scratch fever

 

Hope is when you see

That hot chick in pink

With emerald green eyes

Sitting next to you

At the Budapest train station

 

Hope is when you lose

Every last bit

Of faith in you

Me

Them

Everyone

Just to let the soulshine

Set the scene

Into a mundane rainy Tuesday
