All Hope

All  hope lies in tomorrow

Betrayed by yesterday

For every new horizon

There is no price to pay

The piper plays his tune

Holds out a hand for gilt

The memory cries a river

The wrong side of spilt milk

All hope lies in tomorrow

Forgetting yesterday

All hope is stored in thoughts

Arranged to form a play

There's is laughter and there's intrigue

There's sadness and there's pain

Yet by the final act

Laughter rules again

All hope lies in tomorrow

Aphrodite by my side

To walk a brave new world

Athena as my guide

All hope lies in tomorrow

Under Helios's light

To trust tomorrow to Themis

Her justice and her right
