Lyrics

Hope Springs Eternal

Keep hoeing the ground, keep moving that dirt around
Drop seeds, pray for rain
What, hope springs eternal
Well until that damned drought
I’m am not going to let myself fall down, again.

So you write the story, but tell the truth
And so you write the story
But please, tell the truth

Yeah, yeah, well, sure, you write the story
And you tell the truth
I used to hear songs like a minstrel in your heart

Hey write the story, tell the truth
You’ve got to start with the words,
See how the story unfolds, or derail as the narrative loses its way, way
Hope springs eternal, not another drought, don’t, let yourself fall down

Begin again, easy to begin, hard to stop, no worry

Keep hoeing, keep moving the ground around,
Keep planting seeds, pray for rain, hope
Hope springs eternal
Hope springs eternal
