The Hope Inside - Colony House

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, ooh-ooh

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 on the water to restore what remains

Wilted hearts harmonize together in pain

Singing hallelujah while we wait (A hand to hold)

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

Oh, 'cause maybe it’s the hope inside that comes alive

When it’s all we have left
