Hope Returns

(album: Brand New - 2020)

So this is how it feels when standing strong
Turns into barely even holding on
The plans you had are shattered on the floor
And your fear tells your faith, there's no use in praying
Those prayers anymore

When your world is crashing, when your knees hit the ground
When your heart is asking, "What do I do now?"
Just when you think it can't get worse
Hold on, that's when hope returns
Like a new sun breaking through the darkest night
Like a whisper saying, "It'll be alright"
I know you're tired, I know it hurts
But hold on, that's when hope returns
And that's when hope returns

I know it's hard to see the other side
Through all the where-are-yous and don't-know-whys
I know it looks like hope is in the grave
But He's still on the throne, so be still and know
That He's still rolling stones away

When your world is crashing, when your knees hit the ground
When your heart is asking, "What do I do now?"
Just when you think it can't get worse
Hold on, that's when hope returns
Like a new sun breaking through the darkest night
Like a whisper saying, "It'll be alright"
I know you're tired, I know it hurts
But hold on, that's when hope returns
Yeah

Hold on, 'cause hope returns

When your world is crashing, when your knees hit the ground
When your heart is asking, "What do I do now?"
Just when you think it can't get worse
Hold on, that's when hope returns
Like a new sun breaking through the darkest night
Like a whisper saying, "It's gonna be alright"
I know you're tired, I know it hurts
But hold on, that's when hope returns
That's when hope returns
Hope returns
