lyrics
Holding on to Hope
people i know around me float past with the debris
saying they don’t mind, such is life, as they float on down the street
i heard the worst is to come, i heard the words
'look above and find your home in Me
in this storm
i’m holding on to hope, hope, hope
and never letting go, no, no
even when the storm it grows, hope, hope
will never let me go, no, no
‘til i go on home
people build homes using pieces of broken virtue and philosophy
when people place hope in people i notice even more broken dreams
i know that time is so short, there’s something in store, a home i’ve never seen
in this storm, o in this storm
i’m holding on to hope, hope, hope
and never letting go, no, no
even when the storm it grows, hope, hope
will never let me go, no, no
‘til i go on home
only a trace, no face to face
so here i wait with this poor reflection
running a race, scared i’m going to break down
give me strength, Your protection
only a moment, a passing of time
until the day when faith is sight
only a moment, like a flashing of light
so keep me safe, keep me nigh
keep my way homeward bound
when the rain’s pouring down
keep me safe, keep me safe
i’m holding on to hope
never letting go, no, no
‘til the day i come on home, hope, hope
and finally fully know
