How am I supposed to write about hope with catchy hooks and melodies and make you sing along Well I titled this whole album before I tried to write a song And the truth is hope can be a burning sun The closer that you seem to get the quicker you get lost in the sight of It keeps casting it's shadow of our burdens behind us and the more we try stand inside the light The more a darkness seems to grow Is darkness the shade where I've found peace
So maybe this time I need to be standing for someone to believe Like a weathered oak with know hope carved in me So maybe this time I need to be standing for someone to believe You can take the life from me but I'll always be here standing, still Every time you need me Hope is at the root but each day It's still casting a shadow of my darkness behind me And the more I try to show you with the light The more a darkness seems to follow You will never change what you refuse to face Like a shadow we always grow every time we try to find the light
So maybe this time I need to be standing for someone to believe Like a weathered oak with know hope carved in me So maybe this time I need to be standing for someone to believe You can take the life from me Maybe this time I need to be Maybe this time I need to be me You don't know who you are anymore Tonight I don't know either but we are standing still
We can't be moved When hope is at the root of you Every time the wind grows still and I continue to lose movement You are there to walk up chin down and carve your name Every time the wind grows still and life pushes you further Come carve your name Know hope in me
