This balcony's a host to my dark side
Where my deepest fears hide
Sheer agony and pieces of my pride
Shattered on its tiles
When the night comes I sit near the edge
And I mourn all of my painful losses
Watching the cars race and pedestrian disgrace
The daily show of the masses
But today I saw some stars in the sky and I thought
There might be hope
If light still shines in the dark after all
I might overcome the slopes
So I'll keep on walking ahead no matter what comes my way
I'll fight it all
Rise from the ashes like embers
I'll get up after every single fall
I will hope (hope)
Hope (hope)
I will hang to every strand of the rope
I will hope (hope)
Hope (hope)
Hope
Twenty-two years of rushes and crashes and still not
Used to this road
The highs are the best but the comedowns are the cruelest to my
Sensitive soul
I watch the common individual and I wonder
How do they cope?
How is the gift of life going for everyone in
This wreck of a stroll?
But today I saw some stars in the sky and I thought
There might be hope
If light still shines in the dark after all
I might overcome the slopes
So I'll keep on walking ahead no matter what comes my way
I'll fight it all
Rise from the ashes like embers
I'll get up after every single fall
I will hope (hope)
Hope (hope)
I will hang to every strand of the rope
I will hope (hope)
Hope (hope)
Hope
I will hope
