Here I'm standing at the Sea shore

Watch the Waves rolling in one by one

Hear them shouting, hear them roar

Like some blessed Animal, like a lost Soul

Here I'm bending against the Wind

Who tries to rip off the Coat from my Skin

I reach out to hold some and keep it till tonight

I'll bring it to your House, so we can blow out the Light

Hope, Hope, Hope keeps me alive

Yes Hope, Hope, Hope keeps me going

Here I'm sitting by the water

To catch some oranges, the ones you like so much

I hold my hands into salty water

And try not to breath not to scare them away

Hope, Hope, Hope keeps me alive

Yes Hope, Hope, Hope keeps me going

Here I'm laying down at the beach

And see how the rest of this Day sailing West

I reach into my Mouth to rip out a Kiss

And throw it against the Horizon, hope I won't miss

Hope, Hope, Hope keeps me alive

Yes Hope, Hope, Hope keeps me going
