a new hope

to speak as if you've never spoken

to listen as if you've never heard
to look as if you've never seen
to laugh as if you've never laughed

the life and love of old has been forgotten
we have what we are now
we have
and we will keep on having
the future may seem uncertain
but the present is what we make
these things they may deem unworthy
but we choose to make it worthy

we are what we have now,
we choose to have
we will have them
and in the end not just be content
but happier than we were then
