Hope
Hope
Hope
Such a simple word
Yet it what a whole guild lives on
Breaths in
And shouts with
Hope like a fragile summer bird
Too quickly flown away
Hope is what got to follow you that day
As we ran from the cops
Hope is what got me through the times
That death was more preferable
It gave me family
It gave me a home
We concurred everything together
The tower
Turo island
The seven years
Grand magic tournament
Even the dragons
You stood by my side
All of you
You shared my tears
As I did yours
My laughter
My joy
So why did I have to lose you
Why did zeref
Have to destroy it all
First grey
Then erza
Then my dear natsu
At the hands of a monster
Oh but he fell
He fell from his high perch
Once thought to never been able to be killed
Now falls to the hands of fairy tail
Though we stand here bruised and battered
And magic is no more
Our summer bird has not abandoned us
For hope
Let natsu see his dragon again
Erza to heal from her prison
For grey to find his family
For them to die in peace
So though these tears run sore right now
And laughter feels like a thousand blades across my tongue
I know hope has not abandoned us
It will let rise again
So know I stand at the memorial for you guys
And all who lost their lives that day
I want to say
Our guild is still so strong
No magic has not destroyed us
Our summer bird came back after winter
Though these tears are still stinging a little
And a smile is sometimes still hard to muster
I know it will get easier
So until we can meet again
I can count on our summer bird
To keep my wings up till then
