I Just Wish They Were Here

It hard, living without hope

I felt like being on a rope

Unable to buy even soap

I just need hope, I wish they were here

I don’t remember my family

I just feel silly

Just spreading like water lily

I just need hope, I wish they were here

Left when I was young

Feel like my life is on a string

Not knowing what it gonna bring

I just need hope, I wish they were here

They didn’t even care

Leave alone dare

Life was so bare

I just need hope, I wish they were here

It was like a turn table

I was no longer able

Its like am disable

I just need hope, I wish they were here

I did what I did

Just because I was in need

And not for a good deed

I just need hope, I wish they were here

Like a wasted cup

They didn’t clap

They were putting stamp

I just need hope, I wish they were here

Busy with job

All they did was snob

My hope drop

I just need hope, I wish they were here

If I was of age

I could engage

But now am out of stage

I just need hope, I wish they were here

It is by proximity

I avoid calamity

I needed clarity

I just need hope, I wish they were here
