Hope Floats

Yell Sound, Shetland, 2014, by R.A.D. Stainforth

Look ahead, don't look back
We have a pretty future ahead
Whenever fear crosses your mind
Just remember what I have said

These clouds cannot dampen us
Our love shall help us sail through
Ignore the dark canopy for a while
Look beyond at the skies blue

Do not be worried by this storm
The water shall not rise above us
Hold on to my hands, my love
We shall make it without a fuss

Hope is a very good thing
Just believe in what I have to say
Our life together is not over yet
Just kneel down and slowly pray

This boat shall not give up on us
We are going to start a new life
Our journey shall not be cut short
One day, you shall surely be my wife

I have no fears within me now
My love for you keeps me strong
When I have you by my side
I know that nothing can go wrong

Breathe free now, my darling
This ordeal shall be over soon
We shall get home in a while
Before the shine of the silver moon

In life, never ever give up
There shall be many more boats
Only when you are dying to live
You shall realize that hope floats
