For Us
Hope.Glory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When all you needed was permission to fly
They tried so hard to put out your light
But lights only shine brighter in the dark of the night
This one's for me, it's my time, it's my moment to shine
This one's for you, to make you proud, to let you see my love out loud
This one's for us, no regrets, let's go all in, we will not let our dreams go
Don't settle for less than what you need
And don't be afraid to tell the world your dream
I look around and see so many poppy flowers on the ground
But they were supposed to climb towards the sunlight
Be brave and courageous
Be bold and outrageous
Be the light the world needs
Go, go, go, we will not let our dreams
