The audacity of hope
Can be a slippery slope
Take care who you follow
That person may be shallow
Beware of false leaders
They may be just cheaters
Stay clear of false sales men
Who entice you with their amen
The audacity of hope
Should widen your scope
Of those you believe
Can help you achieve
Take care who you follow
In mire you may wallow
The audacity of hope
Should not make you grope
May you keep a keen eye
And look up to the sky
There is clarity up there
So please be aware
Or your soul may be bare
