Hope is strength to walk along   And music to my song   I'll be redeemed   Light a fire in the cold   Buy me back where I am sold   I'll be redeemed   All the waves of time are crashing   And our innocence is gone      Hope, I'll be waiting, I'll be holding on to...    I am never knowing, so I'll be holding on to hope      Stay when dirt is on my face   From my ravaging and waste   I'll be redeemed   Stay close when sand is at my feet   Let me hear the parting sea   I'll be redeemed   If I wait till light is shining   I may never find the day      Hope, I'll be waiting, I'll be holding on to...   I am never knowing, so I'll be holding on to hope      So quick to turn from promise   So quick to ask the questions   So softly the moon shines down tonight   And all my soul is silent      I'll be waiting, I'll be holding on...   I am never knowing, so I'll be holding on to hope       [repeat chorus x2]
