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
