To hope is to believe
To believe is to trust
To trust is to have faith
To have faith is to have confidence
To have confidence is to have a will
To have a will is to have strength
To have strength is to have courage
To have courage is to be brave
To be brave is to face all odds
To face all odds is to live
To live is to find joy in life
To find joy is to find peace
To find peace is to find God
To find God is to find everything
And everything is love, isn't it?

So to hope...is to love...
To keep your heart open...
    Open to love and therefore to hate
    To joy and so to sorrow
    To peace and so to pain
    To trust and so to deceit
To accept one you must accept it all
To deny one is to deny it all.

To accept is to live
To live is to grow
To refuse growth is to die
