An Important song in Switchfoots' history, as the song was featured in A Walk to Remember (although it was covered by Mandy Moore’s character in the film) and was one of the songs that catapulted Switchfoot’s mainstream career.
[Verse 1]
There's a song that's inside of my soul
It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again
I'm awake in the infinite cold
But You sing to me over and over and over again
[Chorus]
So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray to be only Yours
I pray to be only Yours
I know now You're my only hope
[Verse 2]
Sing to me of the song of the stars
Of Your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again
When You feel like my dreams are so far
Sing to me of the plans that You have for me over again
[Chorus]
And I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray to be only Yours
I pray to be only Yours
I know now You're my only hope
[Bridge]
I give You my apathy
I'm giving You all of me
I want Your symphony
Singing in all that I am
At the top of my lungs I'm giving it back
[Chorus]
And I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray to be only Yours
I pray to be only Yours
I pray to be only Yours
I know now You're my only hope
Only Hope was written by Jon Foreman.
