A Hope Deferred
Justin McRoberts

The darkness in the hearts of men

Is not illuminated from within

It takes a sword to break the skin

And let the healing sunlight in


So if the lamp of your eye is dark,

How dark indeed it is inside your heart

If all you see is what is no there

The light of being turns to dark despair


Hey la la la


How do you see? Do you see clearly?


Do you see light but doubt it's source?

And are you blinded by your vision?

Or deafened by the sound of your own voice?


A hope deferred can kill the heart

And make a mockery out of what's really art

So set your sights up on the day

And may your eyes be free to see the light again,


Hey la la

Lyrics by Justin McRoberts

  After My All   All I Want   Always Deeper   America and the Soul   At the Cross   Be Still   Bullhorn Theory   Common Sense   Deconstruction   Done Living   Drive By Accident   Hope is Where We're Starting From   How Great Thou Art   I Give You My Life   I Will Come   King of Mercy   Learning to Need You   Make Me Like You   Making Noises   More Than Anything   My Only Victory   On the Night You Were Betrayed   Religion Poisons Everything   The Story Stands Alone   Until There is No More   When It Don't Come Easy
