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 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 come 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 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 your eyes
If you fall down i will pick you up

And i said hold up
It's alright
If you don't see open your eyes
If you falling 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 your eyes
If you fall down i will pick you up

And i said hold up
It's alright
If you don't see open your eyes
If you falling down i will pick you up
