Oh Hope, My Tired Friend

I’ve been waiting on delivery to come to me a while
It’s been there in my periphery just out of reach
I been waiting on so many stars and when i was a child
I thought they’d twinkle down
The wishes I sent up their way
But they betray the ones who pray for happiness
Oh, hope my tired friend
I followed you right to the end of that road
And ill follow it right back to me
I been waiting on lovers friends foreign family
To think and feel and act the way I want them to
I been waiting on the human race to rise to grace for me
But i needed them to be the ones, the rule of thumbs
The monks the nuns the major drums for happiness
Oh, hope my tired friend
I followed you right to the end of the road
And I’ll follow it right back to me
Every little flower in the field
Every little death upon my windshield
Every set of eyes that drive by
Every single thing has been a sign
I been overlooking everything that’s right in front of me
I been searching for the message from beyond
I been chasing the horizon line the end of time
The sacred sign the holy wine of happiness
Oh, hope my tired friend
I’ll followed you right to the end of the road
And i’ll follow it right back to me
I’ll follow it right back to me i’ll follow it back hey
Every little broken highway line
Every single thing’s been a sign
