Hope
We Came As Romans; Lyrics

Sometimes I feel so wrong
There are times when I feel that something is not right.

Like I'm being held down
It feels like something is restricting and weighing me down.

I feel my heart like a rock, it's sinking
My heart feels heavy and is sinking like a rock.

These days can get so dark
Sometimes life can be really tough.

Like an eclipse in the sky
It can be as if the light has been completely blocked out like during a solar eclipse.

But I can rise above
I can be stronger than these difficult times.

I can find the light
I can still find the good and positive things in life.

I can run
I have the power to change things for the better.

I can change all the answers
I have the ability to change the situation and find different solutions.

Or what I'll hope they'll be
Or to make things better and more optimistic than they seem right now.

I won't stop
I will not give up.

I won't let my own questions
I will not allow my doubts and uncertainties to consume me.

Fade away in my dreams
Nor will I let them disappear in my sleep or subconsciousness.

Don't fade away
I will not allow hope to fade away.

We won't fall to our knees
We will not give up and surrender.

We are the one true hope
We, as a collective whole, are the one true hope for ourselves and others.

So give me an answer
So, tell me, are you also willing to be part of this hope and change?

Are you in or you out?
Are you willing to be a catalyst for change or not?

We all fall, crawl out of the fear you're in
We all experience failure and setbacks, but we have to rise above our fears and overcome them.

You have a voice to be heard
You have the power to speak up and be heard.

You're worth more than words
Your value and worth cannot simply be described by words alone.

So let your fire burn
Let your passion and enthusiasm to create change fuel you.

Oh, your flame will be lit
Your inner energy and drive will be reignited.

Again when a candle is burned at both ends
Similar to a candle that is almost reaching its end but still provides light, you can still make a difference even when everything seems to be against you.

And there's nothing left
When you feel like there's nothing left to give or that you've hit rock bottom.

You can change
You have the ability to change and grow.

You can become selfless
You can change your mindset from being self-centered to being others-centered.

You're not set in stone
You're not permanently fixed and unchangeable.

You will wade through mistakes that we all make
You will make mistakes like everyone else, but you will get through them and learn from them.

But just hold on
Just keep persevering and pushing through.

So are you with me
Will you join me in this quest for hope and change?

Or will you fall to your knees?
Or will you give up and surrender?
