Embrace Hope (acoustic version 2012)

about

This was recorded sometime in August 2012. I just met up with a producer friend late summer (2012) and just wanted to record this old song of mine for fun. I didn't have particular plans for the recording but I knew I wanted to give it away at some point. I figured this would be the best time to do it because it's the end of 2012 and we're all gearing up for 2013 to be a successful one. With everything that went on with the world this past year, sometimes I (or we) can't help but feel depressed, sad, and frustrated. This song has "served" me through times when life just didn't make sense. So I want to re-share this song again (for those of you who already knew this song before) and hopefully, no pun intended, bring a tiny light in your lives. Embrace hope.

This song is specifically dedicated to all the victims and family who were affected by Sandy hurricane, Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, and all victims of gun violence.

lyrics

EMBRACE HOPE
(polinar)

Staring at the ground
Instead of looking ahead
Heavy shoulders keep weighing you down
like all of us travelers, traveling along
weariness, loneliness won't leave us alone

like seasons they come and go
though at times they linger
like water poured on my hands
and dripping through my fingers
all these things will pass us by

LET GO, EMBRACE HOPE
LET GO OF ALL OF YOUR FEARS
AND ERASE ALL THOSE TEARS
LET GO, EMBRACE HOPE
ONE DAY PEACE WILL FIND YOU WHERE YOU ARE
AND REALIZE HOME IS NOT THAT FAR
SO JUST LET GO, EMBRACE HOPE

Nothing's for sure when doubt gets around
you can't help but feel so unsure
good thing there's faith and
good thing there is love
there is strength in the journey to come

like listening to a sweet, soft, and tender whisper
like standing tall in the midst of rain under a shelter
better days are on the way
