Perhaps

Everyday I wake up

And continue the struggle

Bit by bit I try to add the little droplets

In the empty cup

The cracks don't let them stay 

Yet I try, everyday

As the city moves from day to night

And everyone struggling

Just becomes passer-by

The dream remains etched in my heart

No matter how hard the nights are

I wake up and walk again 

Step by step towards the shining light

In the hope that

Maybe one day I'll have an ocean to myself

And I realise I am not alone

As I cross paths with others

Who have come this far

Yet long for the home which they left behind

Perhaps we'll all return

To the place we belong

And sleep beneath the stars

For we all will have a part 

Of that beautiful sky to call our own!
