From the recording Share Hope
Lyrics
Everybody has a different burden
Could be a weight upon your shoulder or a storm inside your head
Everybody's lost a precious angel
Mother, Father, brother daughter, or someone else instead
Everybody's trying to find the reason
Thinking it will help them learn to cope
But the only way anyone gets stronger
Is when they learn to share, Share hope
Hope is not a fragile emotion
It's not a candle burning softly in the night
It's more like a blazing bonfire
Shattering the darkness with its light
Hope is not a sweet and subtle feeling
It's not a whisper trying to find a voice
It's more like a deep resounding chorus
Anyone can sing but you gotta make the choice
Sometimes it takes a little courage
It ain't easy climbing up that slippery slope
But when you finally do and discover it is true You wanna share, hope
It's not a magic pill or a superstitious spell
And it never ever ever stands alone
It's a kind of power that binds us all together
Goes into the jungle and brings you safely home
You can share your supper with the hungry
You can share your money with the poor
You can share your laughter with the lonely
You can share all of this and more
You can share your wisdom with the foolish
You can share your prayers with the Lord above
You can share your faith with the faithless
You can share your joy , yes and you can share your love
No matter who you are, no matter where you go
No matter how you get there, No matter what you know
I’m telling you the truth and it's more than just a dare
The way for us to love is to share, share hope
When you're tired and alone and chilled down to the bone,
And the seeds that you have sewn have landed on the stone
And you don't know where to turn and it seems too hard to learn
And your heart begins to burn as your fears begin to churn,
Shout it from the mountains and the highways
Sing it from the stage and in the cafes
Let your voices rise up when the rain falls (down)
Know that we are in this for the long haul (now)
And when we've been there ten thousand yearsTrying to shine
Our greatest legacy will always be That we learned to find, and share, Share hope…
When the vision you once had is getting dusty, When you dreams you used to shine are getting rusty,
When every single day is getting longer, When you’re sure that you ain’t getting any stronger,
When the road that you are on goes on forever, share hope
When you cannot seem to pull yourself together, share hope Share it with a teacher, friend, preacher don’t have to pretend, with a neighbor, enemy too stranger like I’m sharing it with you
