It takes us back to brighter years,
to happier sunlit days,
and to precious moments
that will be with us always.
Just a little hope is needed
like a ray of sun
shining in the earth
like the taste of wet stone
in the water
like a fish leaping
on wet sand
And these fond recollections
are treasured in the heart
to bring us always close to those
from whom we had to part.
Just a little hope is needed
like a song remembered
in the throat of a mute
like a sigh
stopped in the chest
There is a bridge of memories
from earth to Heaven above…
like the longing of an insect
clinging to glass
like thirst
drowned in the river-bed
Just a little hope is needed
It keeps our dear ones near us
It’s the bridge that we call love.
