The Hope Inside

Running with my eyes closed Weary flesh and bone I can feel the fire Burning in my lungs Maybe there's a reason why My heart pounds inside my chest Saying it's okay to take your time Slow it down, you just need rest I've been holding on with all my might But can hardly catch my breath Thinking maybe it's the hope inside That comes alive When it's all we have left Dancing with the ocean Caught up in the tide I can feel the motion Pull me out to the cold and darker side But maybe there's a reason why I get dragged beneath the surface Every kick against the current I sink down deeper and I ask myself Is there something more than meets the eye That makes all these troubles worth it? Or could it be the hope inside That comes alive When it's all we have left? When it's all we have left It's alright, yeah it's okay If this all stays the same Old dreams will die New dreams will grow But I just want a hand to hold A hand to hold We are the flowers that are ready for rain Waiting for the water to restore what remains Wilted hearts harmonize together in pain Singing hallelujah while we wait Echoing voices from inside of the hall Spray painted pictures on the side of the wall Looking for meaning in the midst of it all Are we even listening anymore? Maybe there's a reason why This world spins around in circles Like it's giving us another try Every sunrise to find purpose Has it been happening all this time Like another breath that goes unnoticed? I'm leaving what is lost behind to find the light 'Cause maybe it's the hope inside That comes alive When it's all we have left
