Hope Returns

So this is how it feels when standin' strong

Turns into barely even holdin' on

The plans you had are shattered on the floor

And your fear tells your faith, there's no use in prayin'

Those prayers anymore

When your world is crashin', when your knees hit the ground

When your heart is askin', "What do I do now?"

Just when you think it can't get worse

Hold on, that's when hope returns

Like a new sun breakin' through the darkest night

Like a whisper sayin', "It'll be alright"

I know you're tired, I know it hurts

But hold on, that's when hope returns

And that's when hope returns

I know it's hard to see the other side

Through all the where-are-yous and don't-know-whys

I know it looks like hope is in the grave

But He's still on the throne, so be still and know

That He's still rollin' stones away

When your world is crashin', when your knees hit the ground

When your heart is askin', "What do I do now?"

Just when you think it can't get worse

Hold on, that's when hope returns

Like a new sun breakin' through the darkest night

Like a whisper sayin', "It'll be alright"

I know you're tired, I know it hurts

But hold on, that's when hope returns

Yeah

Hold on, 'cause hope returns

When your world is crashin', when your knees hit the ground

When your heart is askin', "What do I do now?"

Just when you think it can't get worse

Hold on, that's when hope returns

Like a new sun breakin' through the darkest night

Like a whisper sayin', "It's gonna be alright"

I know you're tired, I know it hurts

But hold on, that's when hope returns

That's when hope returns

Hope returns
