Ron Pope - A Reason To Hope

I gave away more than I had
In the blinding cold, casket black
When the sun went down, never did return

Like gasoline on an open flame
Light op so bright, then burn away
If I fall apart, look the other way

When all the things I need
Feel just like a dream
And every breath I breathe is so hard

And I just want a reason to hope
A reason to know
That I should stil be here
Maybe just a glimpse at the light
A patch of blue sky
Something to believe in
I just want a reason to hope
A reason to hope
Want a reason that I should not let go
I want a reason to hope

And it's hard to say times are bad
'Cause it's been much worse
And I know that
But from all I've seen
These days are awful hard

And the prayers came slow for me at first
Then the dam broke down
And the rivers surged
I am on my knees
Wondering what it's worth And all the things I need
Feel just like a dream
And every breath I breathe is so hard

Well I just want a reason to hope
A reason to know
That I should stil be here
Maybe just a glimpse at the light
A patch of blue sky
Something to believe in
I just want a reason to hope
A reason to hope
Want a reason that I should not let go
I want a reason to hope

And I said hold up
It's alright
If you don't see
Open up your eyes
If you fall down
I will pick you up

And I said hold up
It's alright
If you don't see
Open up your eyes
And your falling down
I will pick you up

Well I just want a reason to hope
A reason to know
That I should stil be here
Maybe just a glimpse at the light
A patch of blue sky
Something to believe in
I just want a reason to hope
A reason to hope
Want a reason that I should not let go
I want a reason to hope

And I said hold up
It's alright
If you don't see
Open up your eyes
If you fall down
I will pick you up

And I said hold up
It's alright
If you don't see
Open up your eyes
And your falling down
I will pick you up
