Reason To Hope

(album: Twenty-Six Tuesdays, Part 1 - 2011)

I gave away more than I had
In a blinding cold, casket black
When the sun went down
And never did return.
Like a gasoline on an open flame
Light up so bright
Then burn away
If I fall apart
Look the other way

And all the things I need
Feel just like a dream
And every breath I breathe
It's so hard

I just want a reason to hope
A reason to know
That I should still be here
Maybe just a glimpse of the light
A patch of blue sky
Something to believe in
I just want a reason to hope
A reason to hope
A reason that I should not let go
I want a reason to hope

And it's hard to say times are bad
Cause it's been much worse,
And I know that
But from all I've seen
These days are often hard
And the prayers come slow for me at first,
Then the dame broke down
And the rivers surged
I am on my knees wondering what it's worth

And all things I need
Feel just like a dream
And so every breath I breathe
It's so hard

I just want a reason to hope
A reason to know
That I should still be here
Maybe just a glimpse of the light,
A patch of blue sky
Something to believe in
I just want a reason to hope
A reason to hope
I want a reason that I should not let go
I want a reason to hope

(And I said hold up
It's alright if you don't see, open up your eyes
If you fall down I will pick you up) [x2]

I just want a reason to hope
A reason to know
That I should still be here
Maybe just a glimpse of the light,
A patch of blue sky
Something to believe in
I just want a reason to hope
A reason to hope
I want a reason that I should not let go
I want a reason to hope

(And I said hold up
It's alright if you don't see, open up your eyes
If you fall down I will pick you up) [x2]
