Hope In The Air

There is a man that I know
Seventeen years he never spoke
Guess he had nothing to say
He opened his mouth on judgement day
I listened with all of my might
I was scared by the look in his eyes
Like he'd already lost the fight
And there was no hope ever in sight
No hope in the air
No hope in the water
Not even for me  your last serving daughter
Why fear death  be scared of living
Oh hearts are small and ever thinning
There is no hope ever of winning
Why fear death  be scared of living
I have seen men provoked
And I have seen lives revoked
And I looked at my life and I choked
From there no more ever I spoke
I can't give up that quick
My life is a candle and a wick
You can put it out but you can't break it down
In the end we are waiting to be lit
There's hope in the air
There's hope in the water
But sadly not me  your last serving daughter
A friend is a friend forever
And a good one will never leave  never
But you've never been south and what rolls off your mouth
You will never understand the ever
You speak minds handed down to you
By the lies handed down by your truth
And your angels that dance at your wail
Will mask your scrabbling youth
I forgave you your shortcomings
And ignored your childish behaviour
Laid a kiss on your head and before I left said
Stay away from fleeting favour
There's hope in the air
There's hope in the water
But sadly not me  your last serving daughter
Pick up your rope lord  sling it to me
If we are to battle I must not be weak
And give us your strength world  and your food and your water
Oh I am your saviour  your last serving daughter
There's hope in the air
There's hope in the water
But sadly not me  your last serving daughter
There's hope in the air
There's hope in the water
But no hope for me  your last serving daughter
