In Light In Me

[Verse 1]
How am I supposed to write about hope
With catchy hooks and melodies and make you sing along?
Well, I titled this whole album before I tried to write a song
And the truth is hope can be a burning sun
The closer that you seem to get
The quicker you get lost in the sight of
It keeps casting its shadow of our burdens behind us
And the more we try stand inside the light
The more a darkness seems to grow
Is darkness the shade where I've found peace?

[Chorus]
So maybe this time I need to be
Standing for someone to believe
I'm like a weathered oak with "know hope" carved in me
So maybe this time I need to be
Standing for someone to believe
You can take the life from me, you can take the life from me
But I'll always be here standing still every time you need me

[Verse 2]
Hope is at the root of each day
It's still casting a shadow of my darkness behind me
And the more I try to show you with the light
The more a darkness seems to follow
You will never change what you refuse to face
You will never change what you refuse to face
Like a shadow we always grow
Every time we try to find the light

[Chorus]
So maybe this time I need to be
Standing for someone to believe
I'm like a weathered oak with "know hope" carved in me
So maybe this time I need to be
Standing for someone to believe
You can take the life from me, you can take the life but
Maybe this time I need to be, maybe this time I need to be me

[Bridge]
You don't know who you are anymore
Tonight I don't know either but we are standing still
But we are standing still, we can't be moved
When hope is at the root, the root of you

[Outro]
Every time the wind grows still
And I continue to lose movement
You are there to walk up chin down and carve your name
Every time the wind grows still
And life pushes you further
Come carve your name, know hope in me
