A Martinez - Hope Lyrics

At the edge of paradise
My baby cannot see
She's been hearin' voices callin' her away from me

So I wonder can it be
We should not go on?
Have I been a fool for buyin' into this con?
She lays down her burden and steps off the road
Lays down her load
She steps right off the road
I say

Please baby
Keep walkin'
Don't go crazy
That's a shadow talkin'
You go fallin' by the wayside and we will
Never see our dream
Please baby
Keep tryin'
I ain't lyin' when I say I cannot live without some
Hope in your eyes

Long ago and far away
You and I began
Comin' all this way for nothin' was hardly the plan
Time showed the road
Faith taught us to carry the load
And I say

Please baby
Keep walkin'
Don't get lazy
There's a shadow stalkin'
Doubt will whisper like an angel - he is a
Devil in disguise
Oh darlin'
Time flyin'
I ain't lyin' when I say I cannot live without some
Hope in your eyes

Over the mountain and just 'round the bend
Water where all journeys end
We'll bathe in the fountain of pleasure again
Bathe where the spirits ascend

Once upon a time has come
Come and quickly gone
That don't mean there won't be heroes carryin' on
You gotta look in your heart
This love is the beautiful part
And I say

Sweet baby
Keep walkin'
Laugh out loud
It's just a shadow talkin'
Faith be shinin' in the midnight and we will
Surely see our dream
Two parts of
One promise
Trouble's on us and I need to feel the power of that
Hope in your eyes
