Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes I feel so wrong
Like I'm being held down
I feel my heart like a rock, it's sinking
These days can get so dark
Like an eclipse in the sky
But I can rise above
I can run
I can change all the answers
Or what I'll hope they'll be
I won't stop
I won't let my own questions
Fade away in my dreams
Don't fade away
We won't fall to our knees
We are the one true hope
So give me an answer
Are you in or you out?
We are the one true hope
So give me an answer
We all fall, crawl out of the fear you're in
Don't give up
We won't fall to our knees
We are the one true hope
So give me an answer whoa whoa
So give me an answer, now whoa whoa
Give me an answer
Stand up
You have a voice to be heard
You're worth more than words
So let your fire burn
Oh, your flame will be lit
Again when a candle is burned at both ends
And there's nothing left
You can change
You can become selfless
You're not set in stone
You will wade through mistakes that we all make
But just hold on
Don't fade away (hold on)
We won't fall to our knees
We are the one true hope
So give me an answer
Are you in or you out?
We are the one true hope
So give me an answer
We all fall, crawl out of the fear you're in
Don't give up
We won't fall to our knees
We are the one true hope
So give me an answer
We are the one true hope
So are you with me
Or will you fall to your knees?
We are the one true hope
So are you with me
Or will you fall to your knees?
We are the one true hope
We are the one true hope
We won't fall to our knees
We are the one true hope
So give me an answer
Are you in or you out?
We are the one true hope
So give me an answer
We all fall, crawl out of the fear you're in
Don't give up
We won't fall to our knees
We are the one true hope
So give me an answer whoa whoa
Give me an answer, now whoa whoa
Give me an answer
"We Came As Roman's" song "Hope" is all about rising above your struggles and finding hope in the darkest of times. The song opens with the lead vocalist acknowledging that sometimes he feels as though he's being held down and his heart is sinking like a rock. However, through perseverance and effort, he can overcome these feelings and find the light. The chorus has a strong message of resilience, stating that "we won't fall to our knees" and that they are "the one true hope". The song also has a call to action for listeners, urging them to stand up, let their voice be heard, and not let their own questions fade away. The lyrics emphasize the power of change, selflessness, and the ability to wade through the mistakes we all make.
One interesting fact about the song is that it was written as a response to an inspiring letter the band received from a young fan who was battling cancer. Another interesting fact is that "Hope" was released on "We Came As Roman's" fourth studio album, "Tracing Back Roots", which was only the second album the band recorded with new vocalist Dave Stephens, after the departure of former co-vocalist Kyle Pavone.

Sometimes I feel so wrong
At times I feel as though I'm not on the right path
Like I'm being held down
As if something is preventing me from moving forward
I feel my heart like a rock, it's sinking
My heart feels heavy as if it's slowly losing all hope
These days can get so dark
There are moments when everything seems gloomy
Like an eclipse in the sky
A darkness that overwhelms everything around me
But I can rise above
But I can overcome this darkness
I can find the light
I can see the brightness at the end of the tunnel
I can run
I have the power to change everything I want
I can change all the answers
I can take control of my life and find my own path
Or what I'll hope they'll be
Or I can alter my future into something that I aspire to be
I won't stop
I will not lose hope
I won't let my own questions
I won't let my own doubts stop me from achieving my goals
Fade away in my dreams
Fade away like a dream when I wake up in the morning
Don't fade away
Don't lose hope or give up
We won't fall to our knees
We will not give up without a fight
We are the one true hope
We are the ones who have the power to change the future
So give me an answer
Tell me, are you with me or against me?
Are you in or you out?
Will you support me through thick and thin or abandon me in times of trouble?
We all fall, crawl out of the fear you're in
We all face setbacks, but we must overcome our fear of failure
You have a voice to be heard
You have the power to express yourself and make yourself heard
You're worth more than words
You are valuable and should be treated with respect
So let your fire burn
Allow your passion to drive you forward
Oh, your flame will be lit
Your motivation will be reignited
Again when a candle is burned at both ends
Even when faced with exhaustion or difficulty
And there's nothing left
Even when it seems like everything is stacked against us
You can change
You have the power to change yourself and your circumstances
You can become selfless
You can learn to put others before yourself
You're not set in stone
You can grow and change as a person
