Hope (Such a Long Way)

[Vs] You’re never gonna get to the top of the world 

If you keep swearing to the gods and the sky you’re not really a bird

You need the sun to see the shadow when you’re walking through the Valley of Death 

You’ll find a picture in the rubble of a burned down house even when there’s nothing else left

[Ch'] Ooh, I didn’t know hope could go such a long way

Such a long way

[Vs] This life is gonna pass you by if you’re standing on the sidelines

You can look at all your friends living well wondering when it’ll be your time 

All the leaves are gonna change, choir’s gonna sing, and the ground’ll freeze over, bells are gonna ring 

And you’ll start losing parts of yourself you’re supposed to keep

[Repeat Chorus]

[Vs] I was shrouded in sorrow and I wore sorrow like a fine coat

Couldn’t bare to take it off leaving raw parts of my soul exposed

I’ve yet to meet a man who can show me there’s something better than living alone 

But I keep my eyes open ‘cause I’m getting tired of living alone

[Ch] Ooh...

Ooh, now I know hope can go such a long way

Such a long way
