Hope

[Verse 1: Emeli Sandé]

I hope that the world stops raining

Stops turning its back on the young

See, nobody here is blameless

I hope that we can fix all that we’ve done

I really hope Martin can’t see this

I hope that we still have a dream

I’m hoping that change isn’t hopeless

I’m hoping to start it with me

I just hope I’m not the only one

Yeah, I just hope I’m not the only one

[Verse 2: Emeli Sandé]

I hope we start seeing forever

Instead of what we can gain in a day

I hope we start seeing each other

Cause don’t we all bleed the same?

I really hope someone can hear me

That a child doesn’t bear the weight of a gun

Hope I find the voice within me to scream at the top of my lungs

I just hope I’m not the only one

Yeah, I just hope I’m not the only one

[Bridge: Emeli Sandé]

Louder, I cannot hear you

How can things be better left unsaid?

Call me, call me a dreamer

But it seems that dreams are all that we’ve got left

[Verse 3: Emeli Sandé]

I hope we still have a heartbeat

I hope we don’t turn to stone

At night when you turn the lights off

I hope you don’t cry alone

I hope we stop taking for granted

All of the land and all of the sea

I’m taking a chance on loving

I hope that you take it with me

[Outro: Emeli Sandé]

I just hope I’m not the only one

I just hope I’m not the only one

I just hope I’m not the only one
