[Verse 1] When the day leans low And your hands grow still A small dark thought can steal The spark behind your will You feel the room get heavy You feel your steps unsure Like every door you needed Turns away and locks the floor [Pre-Chorus] But something in you knows There’s more than fear and pain A tiny root keeps reaching Even under rain [Chorus] If you lose hope, you lose the fire (you lose the fire) If you lose hope, you lose desire (you lose desire) You lose that courage to be That keeps you moving on Hold on to hope, hold on to hope Until the dark is gone [Verse 2] I’ve seen the broken morning The face behind the glass I’ve seen a kind old trouble Try to make the good days pass But breath is still a promise And love is still a song A heart can bend like palm trees And still keep standing strong [Pre-Chorus] So when the doubt gets louder And shadows fill the room Listen for the quiet pulse Still pushing through [Chorus] If you lose hope, you lose the fire (you lose the fire) If you lose hope, you lose desire (you lose desire) You lose that courage to be That keeps you moving on Hold on to hope, hold on to hope Until the dark is gone [Bridge] Even a shaken voice Can call the dawn by name Even a tired body Can rise and try again One more step, one more breath One more yes to the day Hope is the hand inside you Helping you find your way [Chorus] If you lose hope, you lose the fire (you lose the fire) If you lose hope, you lose desire (you lose desire) You lose that courage to be That keeps you moving on Hold on to hope, hold on to hope Until the dark is gone
