Analysis of Hope For Tomorrow
Wandering merchant of valuable circumstance,
Pass by again when hearts are accepting
If knowledge is power
Your strength is unmatched
And all would profit from your altering words
Wandering shepherd of flocks torn and tattered,
Remember this place as holder of tomorrow's hope
If death rewards life
With eternal slumber
Then all firmly stand near shallow-dug graves
Wandering prophet of light shining brightly,
Give direction to causes tired and true
If nothing is gained
Then lose would be forgotten
Clearing the minds of secrets that consume
Sweet twilight
Rhythmically swaying in surreal lullabies
Guide these brave wanderers
For the sake of unmistakable bliss
