There is a man that I know   For seventeen years he never spoke   Guess he had nothing to say   He opened his mouth on judgement day      I listened with all of my might   But was scared by the look in his eyes   Like he'd already lost the fight   And there was no hope ever in sight      No hope in the air,   No hope in the water,   Not even for me,   Your life serving daughter      I have seen men provoked   I have watched lives revoked   And I looked at my life and I choked   And from there, no more ever has spoke      Why fear death?    Be scared of living   Our hearts are small and ever thinning   There is no hope ever of winning   So why fear death?    Be scared of living      But I won't give up that quick   My life is a candle and a wick   You can't put it out but you can't break it down   In the end, we are waiting to be lit      There's hope in the air   There's hope in the water   But no hope for me, your life serving daughter      Speak minds handed down to you   By the lies handed down by your truth   Your angels that dance at your will   Will mask your scrambling youth      I forgave you your shortcomings   And ignored your childish behavior   Laid a kiss on your head   And before I left said,   "Stay away from fleeting favour"      Oh, pick up your rope, Lord   Sling it to me   If we are to battle, I must not be weak.   And give us your strength, World   and your food and your water   Oh I am your saviour,    Your life serving daughter      There's hope in the air   There's hope in the water   But sadly, not me, your life serving daughter
