This is the story   Of a bird with no wings   But certain that it can fly   Sailing on love   Into the head winds   Forcing it's way by and by      If only we were   As strong as this bird   Our spirit would never die      What do we name it   Hope is the right word   Hope is the bravest most beautiful bird   In the sky      Hope is a bird (hope)   Flies higher than others   And keeps all our dreams alive   Free of all doubt   Perfectly fearless   Fed by its will to survive      Imagine ourselves   Becoming this bird   We can when we dare to try   And see ourselves flying   Over the mountain   Hope is the bravest most beautiful bird   In the sky      Only hope can light the way   Only hope can heal the heart   Only hope can keep the clouds   From hiding the moon and the stars      If only we were   As strong as this bird   Our spirit would never die      What do we name it   Only one word   Hope is the bravest most beautiful bird   Hope is the bravest most beautiful bird   In the sky      Only hope can light the way   (only hope)   Only hope can heal the heart   (only hope)   Only hope can keep the clouds   From hiding the moon and the stars      This was a story   Of a bird without wings   And rose above everything   Never was giving up hope
