Live With the Hope

Live with the same hope Columbus and Bach had
Live with the same joy Chaplin wore his old hat
Live with the same smile Mona Lisa glows
Live with the same breath a Marathon man knows
 
Live through all the disappointment veil
The poet sharpened his pen to defy the evil
And though through a lot of his pain he had to sieve
He wrote because he knew you would live
 
Live with the same hope Columbus and Bach had
Live with the same joy Chaplin wore his old hat
Live with the same smile Mona Lisa glows
Live with the same breath a Marathon man knows
 
Live - those who lived need to be repaid somehow
Those who years ago hold in their stiff hands a plow
To form the world for their kids ‘n grand kids careers
For so many bitter, difficult and thankless years
 
Live with the same hope Columbus and Bach had
Live with the same joy Chaplin wore his old hat
Live with the same smile Mona Lisa glows
Live with the same breath a Marathon man knows
 
Live – despite your love’s hitting a dead end
Dream despite the black clouds above your head
Get lost in the book pages until the black and white
Will point you to a worthy goal in your sight
 
Live with the same hope Columbus and Bach had
Live with the same joy Chaplin wore his old hat
Live with the same smile Mona Lisa glows
Live with the same breath a Marathon man knows
