Hope Is What I Am

6 feet apart they told us on the news, An outbreak was upon us, china lit that fuse Fear overwhelmed so many, as people and businesses broke I was on the front lines trying to keep the hope My patients upon leaving would ask to see my face, So I'd pull down that mask to give a little grace No medical or religious exceptions I was told, But I was young and I wanted to experience the world An infection that hit me not more than a simple flu or cold, Came back to bite me long co vid damage I was told Signs lined on the side walk, I was a hero; But now I'm left wondering how hero could become zero I pushed until I couldn't anymore, Been a year now of picking myself off the floor They say the only thing greater than fear is hope, Hope is what I am, The days are hard but it's not about what you can't do it's about what you can I'll keep fighting everyday to get back to me, Someday I'll make it out of this prison and I'll get to be free Signs lined on the side walk, I was a hero; But now I'm left wondering how hero could become zero I pushed until I couldn't anymore, Been a year now of picking myself off the floor Ohh oh oh oh oh They say the only thing greater than fear is hope, Hope is what I am, The days are hard but it's not about what you can't do it's about what you can I'll keep fighting everyday to get back to me, Someday I'll make it out of this prison and I'll get to be free Ohhh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ohhh They say the only thing greater than fear is hope, Hope is what I am
