Hope

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I come to sing a song about hope I'm not inspired much right now, but even so I came out here to sing a song, so here I go I guess I think That if I tinker long enough, one might appear And look! It's here One verse is done The work's begun [Verse 2] I come to sing a song about hope In spite of everything ridiculous and sad Though I'm beyond belief depressed, confused, and mad Well, I got dressed I underestimated how much that would take I didn't break Until right now I sing of hope And don't know how [Bridge] So maybe I can substitute "strength" Because I'm strong I'm strong enough I got through lots of things I didn't think I could And so did you I know that's true [Verse 3] And so I sing a song about hope Though I can't guarantee there's something real behind it I have to try to show my daughters I can find it And so today— When life is crazy and impossible to bear— It must be there Fear never wins That's what I hope See? I said "hope" The work begins [Piano Solo] [Bridge] So maybe I can substitute "strength" Because I'm strong I'm strong enough I got through lots of things I didn't think I could And so did you I know that's true [Verse 3] And so I sing a song about hope Though I can't guarantee there's something real behind it We have to try to show my daughters we can find it And so today— When life is crazy and impossible to bear— It must be there Fear never wins That's what I hope See? I said "hope" The work begins
