                                           To live is to hope
                                           To hope is to live
                                           What is a life if without a hope?
                                           What is a hope without the will to live?

                                           A life without hope
                                           Is a ship without an anchor
                                           A great ship that braves the storm
                                           A
                                           Will see neither the coast nor the harbour

                                           A life without hope
                                           Is a starless night sky
                                           Under the blinding city lights
                                           The dark sky pains the eyes

                                           A life without hope
                                                                 g
