Hope Beyond

Shadows fall on the restless soul

Walking paths that I've known too long

But there's a light that keeps me strong

In my heart where I belong

One eye sees the world in different hues

Lost in memories, old and new

Married love that slipped away

Now I face these storms each day

But I got a son who lights my way

In his smile, I find my strength

And though the miles keep us apart

His love’s the beat within my heart

Through the pain and the tears that fall

I stand tall, I stand tall

A Christian soul in a wounded man

Holding hope with trembling hands

Far away, she dreams her life

But I pray for her every night

Guided by faith and love so true

Dreaming someday she'll see me too

Broken dreams and scars I wear

But God’s mercy is always there

A chef’s hands that cook with love

Blessings from the Lord above

Moving forward, come what may

With faith as my guiding light

In my heart, I’ll always stay

Loving fiercely through the night
