As I walked to school one day the rain fell from the sky
So I ran into a vacant home so my clothes could dry
The only thing inside was a time stained wedding dress
Inside a dusty closet with an old wooden chest
It had been there for years time had not moved
a dream filled hope chest that never came true
It only took a minute to break a fragile lock
and open all the things someone wanted lost
It was full of old memories and personal effects
The unfinished dreams inside a LOST HOPE CHEST
I never made it to school that day but I sure learned a lot
From a vacant old home time had forgot
I still see the pictures and the letter that I found
I took nothing with me but some things you can’t put down
Just some old memories and personal affects
The unfinished dreams inside a LOST HOPE CHEST
