One of the more somber cuts on ‘Based on a True Story’, Hope’s instrumental builds up from its downbeat tone to a more optimistic one, truly bringing over a sonic experience of ‘Hope’.
Let your love flow down
Let it fall to the ground
Therein lies the roots
Reaching for the stream
All I wanna do
Is keep on reaching through
Keep on reaching through
To the river wide and strong
It won't take long
We can all go together
If we just hold on
A new generation
And a brand new age
I wanna fall like rain
On burning pages
Rise from the ashes
Like a phoenix sun
Learning to flow
Searching for love
You know that I can't get enough of
Get enough of that hope
Oooh oooh oooh
Hope
Oooh oooh oooh
And hope
And hope, yeah
And hope, yeah yeah
Hope, hey
Hope, hey heh
I want my child
To see the beauty of this place
To walk from the mountains, to the sea
And hope
And hope, yeah
And hope, yeah yeah
And hope, yeah yeah
And hope, hope... yeah, yeah
Oh love baby, hope baby
And oh oh oh, yeah yeah
You know that I can't get enough of
Get enough of that hope
Oooh oooh oooh
Hope
Oooh oooh yeah yay
Hope
Oooh oooh
Hope
A-yeah-yay
You know that I can't get enough of
You know that I can't get enough of
You know that I can't get enough of
You know that I can't get enough of
Keep on, keep on
Keep on, keep on
I wanna promise you hope for a generation
Hope for a generation
I wanna promise you
