I Speak Of Hope
Listen to
I Speak of Hope On Jango Radio
The actual music for this was written around 20 years; The musical idea is a descending chordal progression from A G# G F# F E. The way it is played solo sounds very different to the way it is presented here. The theme is repeated at the end of the piece and the first guitar solo is played in a way that you have a sense it is taking you. The poem is itself, one of hope and it is one part of humanity (for everyone) that we need to ensure our peace, prosperity and survival.
I speak of hope like a circle
Embracing you deep in a well
In sight
The light of liberty
Clear as a bell
I speak of hope like a poverty
A morsel held in a cupped hand
Feeding
The bones of promise
Filling this land
I speak of hope like a fire
Quiet ambition holding the spark
Release
Your fantasy and vision
Conquer the dark
I speak of hope like a justice
A basic right for all and one
Securing
Aspiration and trust
Not fighting like the vacant stare of a gun
