Only in Hope
Irys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Only in hope lies salvation, do you hear my voice calling?
Then you'll find hope is coming to this world in the light

Like a stray sheep or a lost child, everybody seems to lose their way
My god says that throughout history some things just always remain unchanged

No one knows what tomorrow may bring
But if you want something you can rely on (yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)

Only in hope lies salvation, do you hear my voice calling?
Like a bell ringing out to mark the day your fate has come
Only in hope lies salvation, can you see these two colored eyes?
Then you'll find hope is coming to this world in the light

People always seem so down, as if troubled by endless rainy days
My god says it's always like this, no one ever sees the wealth they have

No one else can set you free
But if you have the will to struggle alone (yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)

Only with hope you'll find a way, can you open up your eyes?
See the light, let it guide you towards your future
Only with hope you'll find a way, are you ready to beat fear?
It's up to you, if you want to break free from the night

This world continues on its path, no one can ever stop it now
Only you have the power to make change for yourself

Only in hope lies salvation, do you hear my voice calling?
Like a bell ringing out to mark the day your fate has come




Only in hope lies salvation, can you see these two colored eyes?
Then you'll find hope is coming to this world in the light
