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
