I AM YOUR HOPE

[INTRO - DARK, SLOW BUILD] (Instrumental introduces the melody) A pulse in the dark A light underneath Something is waiting Something I can feel [VERSE 1 - INTIMATE, RESTRAINED] They told me Keep the lid closed Don't ask what's inside Some things are better forgotten Some doors are better locked Some dreams are better left behind But I've been listening I've been listening And I can hear something breathing On the other side [PRE-CHORUS - RISING] So I put my hand Against the stone And for the first time I don't feel alone [CHORUS - BIG, EXPANSIVE] I wanna break free I wanna break free Open the door Let the darkness leave I wanna break free I wanna breathe again I thought I was trapped But I was never trapped [POST-CHORUS - HOOK] Never trapped Never trapped [INSTRUMENTAL BREAK - SYNTH LEAD] (Extended melodic electronic sequence) [VERSE 2 - DRIVING, DETERMINED] The lid is moving The room begins to shake Something comes rushing out And I don't know what to make Fear in the shadows Dust in the air Everything I buried Is suddenly everywhere But through the cracks Something else comes through A little light A different view [PRE-CHORUS - BUILDING] And now I know What I couldn't see The thing I feared Was setting me free [CHORUS - BIGGER] I wanna break free I wanna break free Open the door Let the darkness leave I wanna break free I wanna breathe again I thought I was trapped But I was never trapped [BRIDGE - QUIET, HUMAN, EMOTIONAL] I thought hope was hiding Somewhere in the dark I thought somebody Had to come and find it But I was wrong It wasn't waiting Inside the box It was waiting Inside me [DROP - ALMOST SILENT] Inside me [BUILD - RISING FROM NOTHING] Every time I fell It stayed Every time I lost my way It stayed Every time I said I can't do this anymore Something in me said Get up [BUILD] --- I wanna... [BUILD] --- I wanna... [BUILD] --- I wanna... --- [FINAL CHORUS - MASSIVE, TRIUMPHANT] [KEY CHANGE] I wanna break free I wanna break free Open the door Let the darkness leave I wanna break free I wanna breathe again Now I know who I am I am your hope I am your hope I was there all along I am your hope I am your hope You just had to open the door [POST-CHORUS - ECSTATIC] Break free Break free I am your hope Break free Break free I am your hope [OUTRO - RADIANT, WIDE] The box is open The darkness is gone And the light... Was already here I am your hope
