[Intro] Hey! I think I hear it now Turn it up Turn it up [Verse 1] There was a time I knew the sound Of every worst-case scenario Could hear disaster coming Before it ever got that close I got good at expecting rain Good at guarding every door Like if I never hoped for anything I couldn’t lose anymore But You kept finding little ways To pull me back into the day A song through an open window A friend who wouldn’t go away [Pre-Chorus] And somewhere between surviving And finally feeling alive I heard my heart start beating Like it remembered how to try [Chorus] Maybe hope sounds like this Windows down, singing too loud A little off-key But we don’t care now Maybe hope feels like this Laughing until it hurts Finding out that joy Can grow back through the dirt After all those nights I thought would never end Look at me now I’m believing again Whoa-oh Turn it up Maybe hope sounds like this [Verse 2] I used to save the good for later Like tomorrow was guaranteed Always waiting for the perfect time To become who I wanted to be Now I’ll take the kitchen dancing Take the long way home tonight Take the people that I love And tell them while I’ve got the time Because mercy isn’t only Pulling people from the deep Sometimes mercy is reminding us There’s still a life worth living [Pre-Chorus] I spent so long afraid to lose I almost missed what I still had Now every ordinary moment Feels a little sacred in my hands [Chorus] Maybe hope sounds like this Windows down, singing too loud A little off-key But we don’t care now Maybe hope feels like this Laughing until it hurts Finding out that joy Can grow back through the dirt After all those nights I thought would never end Look at me now I’m believing again Whoa-oh Turn it up Maybe hope sounds like this [Bridge — bright, rhythmic] Here’s to another sunrise Here’s to another try Here’s to every prayer That kept us breathing through the night Here’s to the scars we carry And everything they prove We made it through the darkness And we still know how to move [Build] So clap your hands Stomp your feet If you’ve ever had to fight Just to believe We’re still here We’re still singing That sounds like hope to me [Final Chorus] Yeah, hope sounds like this Windows down, singing too loud Whole car shaking And we don’t care now Yeah, hope feels like this Laughing until it hurts Finding out that something beautiful Can grow through the dirt After all those nights We thought would never end Look at us now We’re believing again Whoa-oh Turn it up Whoa-oh Don’t stop After everything we lived through Hope sounds like this [Outro] Not perfect Not painless Just alive And grateful Turn it up
