May you have strength Lyrics

may you have strength
may you have hope
may you have love
the better end of the rope
the hope inside of the hope

may you trick time
may you bear dreams
may you find out
just where your gonna sleep
and whose gonna sing ya to sleep

we knew just what we were doin'
we weren't just along for the ride

but that don't take the pain away
once pearls scatter
some pearls we won't ever find

may you have strength
a messed up bed
a river of hands
where only you can swim
a sweet bitter love
a change that's gonna, gonna come

may you have a past
may you judge it as just
may you never break
may you roll in the dust
and still be able to trust

lost confetti strewn, in the culverts of the avenue
all is forgiven is true
don't even care yourself, don't care myself somehow

may you have strength
may you have hope
may you have love
the better end of the rope
the hope inside of the hope
the better end of the rope
the hope inside of the hope
may you have strength
the hope inside of the hope
