You"re the glow within my life
You"re the fire that burns so bright
In the dark You are my light

The song "Hope" by Watoto is a powerful testament to the unwavering hope that comes through faith in a higher power. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who is lost and in darkness, but finds light and hope in their faith. The first verse talks about this newfound hope being like the sun breaking through the darkness of night, giving a sense of warmth and comfort to the singer's life. In the chorus, the singer proclaims that they have hope that overflows like a flood rushing through their soul, and that they have peace knowing that their hope comes from a divine source.
The second verse speaks to the endless love and friendship that comes with faith. The singer says that they have a forever friend in God, and that His promise never fails. This love and faithfulness is what allows hope to prevail over all other circumstances. The chorus is repeated again, emphasizing the idea that hope is a powerful force in the face of darkness and despair, and that having a source of faith and love can sustain us through all situations.
