**One I lost, one I craved,
One to whom my thoughts were paved,
All my wishes down the drain,
Like a leaf in flowing rain,
As I loved and I cared,
As in the field of love I fared,
As I wanted, as I yearned,
In the lost embrace I learned,
I can hope, yes I can,
But someone has a different plan…
It was greatness I pursued,
Humbleness I subdued,
As I followed my desires,
Like a hound that aspires,
To catch a scent and the prey,
No matter what comes in my way,
Oh, how I fell with a crash,
All my hopes now turned to trash,
I can hope, yes I can,
But someone has a different plan…
I still hope, I still try,
I’ll keep hoping someday I,
Will hit my hope upon its mark,
Even when its blinding dark,
I know it won’t be when I find,
A lover as my heart defined,
It won’t be when my wallet’s fat,
It won’t be when I am topcat,
Now I hope for something grand,
For which that I will make a stand,
'Tis knowledge, wisdom, honour and,
To see a world in a grain of sand,
I can hope, yes I can,
But someone has a different plan…
