I have hope for better days,
I have love for one woman,
I have honour for my friends,
I have thoughts on life,
I have pride in my self,
I have pity for all.
Lost: All hope of a new age.
Lost: All love from one woman.
Lost: All honour from my friends.
Lost: All thoughts of life.
Lost: All pride in my eyes.
I have pity for everyone.
Hope needs to see a better time,
I need to love just one woman,
honour hides the false friend,
I need thoughts to live,
pride is self-inflicted sin,
I have pity for mankind.
Take away tomorrow
and you steal our futures hope,
take away my soul
and you rob me of love,
take away my spirit
and I lose all honour,
take away Astral light
and I become thoughtless,
take away my face
and I lose all pride,
take away my body
and I have pity.
Hope is free to all people
that need it,
love is free to all people
that make it,
honour is free to all people
that find it a need,
thoughts are free to all people
that use them,
pride is free to all people
that seek to outdo others,
I have pity.
Who can say they have hope,
who can say they need hope,
who can say they have true love,
who can say they need no love,
who can say they have honour,
who can say they honour none,
who can say they have good thoughts,
who can say they need no thoughts,
who can say they have self pride,
who can say they need no pride,
I have pity,
who else has pity?
