Sailing a ship called Hope

Hopes, like petals cast upon the water, 

Drifting with the currents until they're too sodden to stay afloat.

Instead of letting them scatter, 

Each one of them alone, too insignificant to matter,

I'll gather them in,

Collect them together,

I'll build a ship with them to sail through the seas of disappointment.

And, if you set it aflame,

I will grow wings and fly!

I refuse to give up.
