I gave away more than I had in the blinding cold
Casket black when the sun went down never did return
Like gasoline on an open flame
Light it up so bright then burn away
If I fall apart
Look the other way
When all the things I need feel just like a dream
And every breath I breathe is so hard
Well I just want a reason to hope
A reason to know that I should still be here
Maybe just a glimpse of the light, a patch of blue sky
Something to believe in
I just want a reason to hope
A reason to hope
Want a reason that I should not let go
I want a reason to hope
And it's hard to say, times are bad
Cause it's been much worse and I know that
But from all I've seen, these days are awful hard
And the prayers came slow for me at first
Then the dam broke down and the rivers surged
I am on my knees wondering what it's worth
And all the things I need feel just like a dream
And every breath I breathe is so hard
Well I just want a reason to hope
A reason to know that I should still be here
Maybe just a glimpse of the light, a patch of blue sky
Something to believe in
I just want a reason to hope
A reason to hope
Want a reason that I should not let go
I want a reason to hope
And I said "hold up"
It's alright, if you don't see, open up your eyes
If you fall down I will pick you up
Well I just want a reason to hope
A reason to know that I should still be here
Maybe just a glimpse of the light, a patch of blue sky
Something to believe in
I just want a reason to hope
A reason to hope
Want a reason that I should not let go
I want a reason to hope
And I said "hold up"
It's alright, if you don't see, open up your eyes
If you fall down I will pick you up (x2)
