Hope
by: Foy VanceWell, I loved the devil
Loved his mind
Drank up all his barley wine
I didn't know I was missing
I loved a woman
Loved her wrong
Left my friends to tag along
I didn't know how to listen
And then you started to cry
Took me aside
And in my ear you whispered,
"I'll put my heart in your hand, show you the plan, though your love for me is withered away."
Then I came 'round
To all the truths I'd found
And I threw down
All the chains that bound me
I was made for loving you
So I skulked around a drunken swine
Took your heart and gave you mine
Your the song I sing to
I left you hanging all alone
Threw my stench upon your throne
After all you've been through
And then you started to cry
Took me aside
And in my ear you whispered,
"I put my heart in your hand,
showed you the plan, and then your love for me withered away."
Then I came 'round
To all the truths I'd found
And I threw down
All the chains that bound me
I was made for loving you
