Hope Springs Eternal

I set out to sea
to find the whereabouts of you
Your disappearance puzzled me
so I began to investigate

you were 'bout 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 FOR WORSE
BUT HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL
IN THIS HUMAN BREAST

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 WORSHIPPED THE MAN YOU WERE
I BEG THAT YOU'RE STILL ALIVE
FOR BETTER FOR WORSE
BUT HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL
IN THIS HUMAN BREAST

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'D HOPED I COULD FIND YOU ALIVE
I'M UNCERTAIN
BUT HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL
IN THIS HUMAN BREAST
