The story of Hope

On January 10, 1983
my mother got her first look at me
weighing seven eleven
my parents thought I was sent from heaven

I was scared of the world I could see
I wish they would have let me be

I the spring of '85
my sister began to thrive
ever since she was born
she has been my thorn

I was scared of the world I could see
I wish they would have let me be

In the fall of '93
my parents fought in front of me
they took some time apart
but soon rejoined hearts

I was scared of the world I could see
I wish they would have let me be

In the fall of '96
my best friend was a mess
she tried to take things in strife
but she took her own life

I was scared of the world I could see
I wish they would let me be

In the summer of '98
I met a guy I thought was great
he would beat me for things I would say
for four years I couldn't get away

I was scared of the world I could see
I wish they would have let me be

In the summer of 2002
this fool I got married to
lies would all I was told
then our love went cold

I was scared of the world I could see
I wish they would have let me be

On April 9, 2003
my son got his first look of me
weighing eight nine
my life finally seemed fine

He was scared of the world he could see
He wished I would have let him be
