Hope Springs Eternal Lyrics

I set out to sea
To find the whereabouts of you
Your disappearance puzzled me
So I began to investigate
Well, seven months ago
You were about to settle down for good
Guess time has come to show
That you doubted if you could

Where have you gone to?
Somebody needs you

I worshipped the man you were
I beg that you're still alive
For better or worse, I'm prepared
But hope springs eternal in this human breast

I'm losing my mind
I can't rest before I know
Whatever reason you could find
To leave us bewildered and alone
Now seven seas been crossed
Been following every step you took
Your life's been wrecked and tossed
in exploitation's name

I'll have my revenge
24 hours hence

I worshipped the man you were
I beg that you're still alive
For better or worse, I'm prepared
But hope springs eternal in this human breast
Forever disgraceful
The way they wrenched and exploited his skills
I pray that I'll find you, my father
Right at the end of this kill
I worshipped the man you were
I beg that you're still alive
For better or worse, I'm prepared
But hope springs eternal in this human breast
I worshipped the man you were
I'd hoped I could find you alive
In death we'll reunite? I'm uncertain
But hope springs eternal in this human breast
