There's a clock timing the world as it turns
There's a man marking the candle as it burns
Keeping track of every minute that remains


Still we hope somehow
It's gonna be alright

It's gonna turn out fine

There's a light shining beyond the southern cross

Burning bright for everyone of us who's lost
More than faith more than a reason to go on


Rise on up knowing
You're gonna win the fight
It's gonna turn out fine


You gotta hope it'll be alright
Come on and hope it'll turn out fine

Yeah, hope it'll be alright, please

When the night turns to the deepest shade of black

At that point there is no reason to turn back
High above angels are falling from the sky


Lift your heart knowing
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna turn out fine


You gotta hope it'll be alright
Come on and hope it'll turn out fine

Yeah, hope it'll be alright, please

You gotta hope, ya gonna win the fight

Come on 'n hope with all your might
Yeah hope it's gonna be alright, please


Millions of people alone in the dark
Awaiting a moment of hope


Please

You gotta hope (Whenever times get tough) it'll be alright

Come on and hope (And when the road is rough) it'll turn out fine
Yeah, hope (Just when you've had enough) it'll be alright, please


You gotta hope (Whenever times get tough) you're gonna win the fight
Come on and hope (And when the road is rough) with all your might
Yeah, hope (Just when you've had enough) it's gonna be alright, please


You gotta hope (Whenever times get tough) it'll be alright
Come on and hope (And when the road is rough) it'll turn out fine

Yeah, hope (Just when you've had enough) it'll be alright, please

You gotta hope, you're gonna win the fight
