If I were hope...

Where would I hide? Inside the stars and inside the sky?
Somewhere far out of reach but easily seen?
Someplace behind you, lost in your past?
Somewhere before you, awaiting you in the future?
Am I in your heart, waiting to be placed in someone else?
Am I in another's heart, waiting to be given to you?
Written on a paper, and framed on the wall?
Or under the seat, in a rusty old car?
If I were hope, where would I hide?
I wouldn't hide here, no this isn't the place.
If I were hope I daren't hide here,
Because this is where dreams go to die.
