There Is Hope

Music and Lyrics by Tsunenori ‘Lee’ Abe

English Lyrics helped by Mika Mernone & Clare McLeod

You used to smile

You used to give me joy

When we saw the stars in the sky

No tears were there

So many shooting stars, crying for us

You used to say

You loved the South Pole star

Though he can’t be found anywhere

Up in the sky

He will always live in your soul

As said in an old Chinese fairy tale

Long lives are given to hold out your hands

Then let us now use them to help

There is hope

There is hope

There is hope that you’re going to live

Above the troubles and sorrows we’ve seen

There’s a better tomorrow

This we can believe

There is hope

There is hope

There is hope that you’re going to give

Above the troubles and sorrows we’ve seen

There’s a better tomorrow for us

This we can believe

Now, in our loss

We don’t know how we smiled

As we’ve passed down each road

We have found so many tears

So many sorrows cover the sky

Now I want to help you smile like before

I can be by your side when you need me

I can help you to stand as you did before

I can help you to paint stars in the sky

Remember that you’re not alone

There is hope

There is hope

There is hope that you’re going to live

Above the troubles and sorrows we’ve seen

There’s a better tomorrow

This we can believe

There is hope

There is hope

There is hope that you’re going to give

Above the troubles and sorrows we’ve seen

There’s a better tomorrow for us

This we can believe
