No Treasure but Hope

No treasure but hope No treasure The end of a rope No pressure No treasure but hope No love on our streets Only fear in our hearts No love on our streets Only fear in our hearts No treasure but hope Too many stars for the counting Lessons for the learning Lessons for remembering Too many stars for the counting Lessons for the learning The trick is the escaping No treasure but hope No love on our streets Only fear in our hearts No love on our streets Only fear in our hearts No treasure but hope Too many stars for the counting Lessons for the learning Lessons for remembering Too hungry to think of the provenance Too angry for the consequence We raised our hands for the counting We raised our hands for the counting Filled our bellies with worms No treasure but hope Under a shower of all our days Listening to the sunshine Burn our lawns The trick is the escaping No treasure but hope
