H.o.p.e.

I will wait and call your name
And I will say: I’m here for you
Don’t walk away

Love is such a short word
And it takes a lifetime to live out
Two hearts entangled, two lives twisted into one
From the top of a tower, from the mountain side
Standing as giants we screamed
We are skyscrapers, we are skyscrapers!
The sun could bleach the sky
Over fields as orange as embers
Our smiles white, our eyes bright
While dancing in these golden dreams

Put your hand in my hand
We don’t need a reason to watch it burn
Put your hand in my hand, it’s only for a season
I swear we’ll make it

And the warmth inside could melt the hardened stone
Cutting off the ties, breaking the chains
Every word is honey, every thought made of sparks
Every breath is God, every breath is God!

Love is a four letter word
And it takes two to fall apart
Two lives, two separate lives
Two hearts ravaged. Ravaged

(What once I thought was honey, left a stinging burn)
Her name inside this heart, her name on everything!
Force the wedge between
Force contempt down your throat
Erase the memories with flames

But what is there to gain from bitterness?
What truth do we uncover when burying each other’s secrets?
We learn to forgive in the time we dig each other’s graves
And standing in the earth, we find we only buried ourselves

Be brief, bear your scars
Hold your hand to the wound and find redemption
Hold (put your hand in my hand)
On (put your hand in my hand)
Pain (we don’t need a reason)
Ends! (to watch it burn)
Hold (put your hand in my hand)
On (put your hand in my hand)
Pain (it’s only for a season)
Ends! (I swear we’ll make it)
Yeah!
