Forgotten Hopes

The shadows fall long across the ground
The day is fading without a sound
The sun falls low in the sky
Stars appear to catch your eye
Looking up to hopes that were lost
Thinking back on the problems crossed
So much in our lives we have conquered
Yet we feel our dreams are not answered
We stop looking at those stars above
Forgetting there’s any hope for love
Those tiny lights we used to dream upon
Flickering and fading until their gone
Once we forget to look up high
Those distant hopes will fade and die
