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 me 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

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 continure 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
