New Hope by B-Lo

[HOOK]
The decisions I chose
Were they right? Who knows?
Where did everything go?
Are these faults my own?
Now I walk alone
Down this lonesome road
Traveling the globe
Trying to find new hope

Verse 1:
At first, it feels like you’re on top of the world, on higher ground
Seconds later, it comes crumbling down
As a soldier, you keep fighting on, no matter the cost
Imagine being a survivor of a war that you lost
Many lives that have been sacrificed, companions and lovers
And now you find yourself the last man standing over others
You thought you were on the winning side, on top as the ace
But then another comes around to knock you off of your place
And now I’m hiding my face, the impact left me ashamed
Always constantly reminded of the ones never saved
And the ones I wanted with me have now turned into my enemies
What is there left to see when there is little left in me?
I was taught the ways and was told to pass it on
Followed every single step so how could it go so wrong?
Did I have the wrong teachers with the wrong advice to give?
Who’s more foolish? The fool or the fool that follows him?
I was only following what I considered as the truth
But we cling to it differently depending on our point of view
I wonder if there’s any hope or faith to believe
I can’t even trust myself when my own eyes deceive
Only reason I still live and the reason I still try
Is to honor what they stood for, keep their memories alive
The war is never lost if there is someone that survives
But is one enough to have his whole side revived?

Verse 2:
Thought I knew the ways but now I don’t know where I’m going
It all happened so sudden, without me even knowing
I lost it all with my friends and my trust
But there’s something deep inside preventing me to give up
All the pain that I have suffered through the years, all the hurt
Has made me numb to it all when you’re expecting the worse
Very close to dig my grave when all I need is a shovel
Because I struggle finding light at the end of the tunnel
When it has gotten so dark that I might as well be blind
I’m still desperately searching if there’s something to find
I have fallen off a mountain that took so long to climb
Lost in this self journey, I’m in need of a guide
And I thought I was wise with the decisions I made
But turns out I was a pawn within this game that they played
All of it has been happening right in front of my face
I guess this is what happens when giving someone your aid
All the secrecy, betrayal, breaks my heart all at once
And now there’s no longer meaning with the years between us
Thought I had some close friends but my enemies were closer
I just didn’t realize til all of it was over
Now I’m on an empty road with nothing in sight
But still patiently waiting for the moment to strike
Because I like to think there’s always a solution to be found
And I believe there’s still a chance to turn it all around
