Elpída

Tell me there will come a time 

when this will be more than a story 

but a thing I feel and have in my body 

way beyond this mind of mine 

 

Tell me that even with every flaw 

I shall get what I deserve, 

for it is letter of law 

and a wish born in the nerve. 

 

Tell me I'm really gonna be okay,

that I'll change, that I'll expand 

and learn to appreciate the pathway 

that takes to my true homeland.
