[Verse 1] Headlines flicker on my window late at night Another siren tracing colors through the light People walking with their shoulders hanging low Carrying the weight of things we shouldn’t have to know Shadows stretching over every city street Tired eyes passing, never really seem to meet But somewhere under all the noise and all the fear I feel a quiet little melody is growing clear [Pre-Chorus] I hear it in the rustle of the trees (yeah) I hear it in the crying and the pleas (oh) Under all the broken, something true A little spark is shining through [Chorus] There’s a current of hope running under the blue In the middle of the storm, it is pulling us through When the nights get long and the heart feels tired There’s a love like a fire running under the wire Every heartbeat sings, even when we’re unsure There’s a river of light breaking through all the hurt Oh, the world might bend, but it won’t be through While the current of hope keeps on shining in you [Verse 2] Walls are rising where the bridges used to be Voices shouting but they’re rarely feeling free Every difference turns to something we must fight Forgetting how we share the very same light Children growing up on stories soaked in rage Trying to find a gentle line on every page Still, in the cracks of every broken, battered place I see a thousand tiny gardens starting to take space [Pre-Chorus] I feel it in the reaching of a hand (yeah) I feel it when a stranger tries to stand (oh) When the world is coming all undone Someone turns and lifts someone [Chorus] There’s a current of hope running under the blue In the middle of the storm, it is pulling us through When the nights get long and the heart feels tired There’s a love like a fire running under the wire Every heartbeat sings, even when we’re unsure There’s a river of light breaking through all the hurt Oh, the world might bend, but it won’t be through While the current of hope keeps on shining in you [Bridge] Oh, we can be the rhythm in the dark of night (yeah) We can be the candle learning how to shine (oh) Every little kindness like a sacred song Turning all the sorrow into something strong We can be the chorus when the world is torn We can be the shelter in the coming storm Every time we choose to see the good that’s there We’re answering a silent prayer [Chorus] There’s a current of hope running under the blue In the middle of the storm, it is pulling us through When the nights get long and the heart feels tired There’s a love like a fire running under the wire Every heartbeat sings, even when we’re unsure There’s a river of light breaking through all the hurt Oh, the world might bend, but it won’t be through While the current of hope keeps on shining in you [Outro] Mmm, there’s a current of hope (yeah) Flowing under the pain we knew (oh) Hold on to the light you find Let it rise and carry you Mmm, there’s a current of hope (yeah) Rushing under the darkest blue (oh) When you feel you’re sinking low Let that river carry you through
