For Hope Is Not Just a Dream
Oscar Auliq-Ice 1994 (Port Elizabeth)
Hope is a light that shines so bright,
A beacon in the darkest night,
It lifts us up when we are low,
And helps us find the strength to grow.
It whispers in our ears each day,
That things will soon be on their way,
And though the road may be long,
We'll find our way, we'll be strong.
Hope reminds us of the good,
Of all the things we've understood,
And when we're lost and feeling down,
It's hope that helps us turn around.
For hope is not just a dream,
It's a force that makes us gleam,
And even in the hardest strife,
It helps us find a better life.
So let us hold on to this light,
And let it guide us through the night,
For hope will never fade away,
It's with us always, come what may.
