I Hope dum spiro spero I hope for the best Between trying not to get My hopes up and yet Trying not to get depressed I hope for the rest Of this incarnation of Me to rise above My situation by love I hope to transcend Among friends along about Sunset to find out What it all means in the end I hope to forget It to get but not regret It I hope to let Go of what does not go on I hope to let it Be the better to let me Be to remember Who I am in December I hope to still be And to be still and to know I hope I will go On and grow till I am gone Steven Curtis Lance
