"Bird called Hope...on the lid of a Dreamer's eye" song lyrics co-written by James Oh

inspiration from Emily Dickinson...
Hope Is The Thing With Feathers

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words, And never stops at all,
And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.
I've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea; Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.

Bird called Hope (on the lid of a Dreamer's eye)

I'm sorry for your pain, tried to shield you from the rain
When the clouds wring out their tears and
the sky starts to fall...
and I know that you feel lost, if I could I'd pay the cost
but I've learned that the Poverty is worth it all

CHORUS
Take this moment...in your hands
it will never come again, my friend
Hope's a bird perched in your Soul
that sings the tune without the words
and never stops at all

As long as the rainbow still follows the rain
As long as a momma's hand still comforts the pain
If when we hear heartbreak, we keep crying
when all seems hopeless, we don't stop trying

As long as our cries don't drown beneath the sea
As long as we can pray to the God in which we believe
as long as the seasons still come and go
as long as we're willing to know there's so much more to know

CHORUS
Take this moment...in your hands
it will never come again, my friend
Hope's a bird perched in your Soul
that sings the tune without the words
and never stops at all

BRIDGE
What am I?
What are we?
We are but dreamers...you and me
We're all the same, whatever your name,
can't we believe, this Bird has wings
this Bird has wings

Where I end...you begin.
We extend, extend my friend
We don't win. We don't lose.
We choose. we choose. we choose


CHORUS
Take this moment...in your hands
it will never come again, my friend
Hope's a bird perched in your Soul
that sings the tune without the words and never stops at all

BRIDGE
What am I?
What are we?
We are but dreamers...you and me
We're all the same, whatever your name,
can't we believe, this Bird has wings
this Bird has wings

there's still hope...

Take this moment...in your hands
it will never come again, my friend
