Lost Hope
Edward J Rogers Valencia 1975 (Riverside)
Proven by any given chance,
not just a feeling,
I'll see the end to every circumstance.
Hearing this same old song,
unreal as it may sound,
Just once I wish to be wrong.
Guided from the rules of which game to play,
their souls are lost,
As far from reality as they can stay.
I can see down this path oh so clear,
losing my turn for happiness,
Just like I always will fear.
