I Hope

[Intro: Jessica Kion]
Look
All the lights are on
The houses packed full of people watching us
Waiting to see
Where we go
Speeding train
Glowing windows

I hold my breath like a prayer
I ration thoughts as best I can
And all those measures and all the fire
I see how life just blazes by us
And just as ashes look the same
We return to the earth again
A cliche I need to hear
When other meanings won’t appear

[Bridge: Ben Levin]
Walk home
Walk home
Just walk home
Turn around
Walk home
Walk home
Walk home

Turn around
Walk home
Walk home
Just walk homе
Look

[Outro: Ben Levin]
I’m not getting any taller
No telling how much farthеr
This timeline will continue on
Long after I lose my father
And long after I’m a goner
And my kids forget the things I taught em
And misplace the things I bought em
And call out in my absence
Feeling small feeling hopeless
But I’ll always be among them
Like my parents and theirs before them

We are never alone
We always have somewhere to go
In our heads
I hope
