Letra Hope Jason Robert Brown

Hope

I come to sing a song about hope
I'm not inspired much right now, but even so
I came out here to sing a song, so here I go
I guess I think that if I tinker long enough, one might appear
And, look, it's here
One verse is done
The work's begun

I come to sing a song about hope
In spite of everything ridiculous and sad
Though I'm beyond belief, depressed, confused, and mad
Well, I got dressed, I underestimated how much that would take
I didn't break
Until right now
I sing of hope
And don't know how

So maybe I can substitute "strength,"
Because I'm strong, I'm strong enough
I got through lots of things I didn't think I could
And so did you
I know that's true
And so, we sing a song about hope
Though I can't guarantee there's something real behind it
I have to try to show my daughters I can find it
And so today, when life is crazy and impossible to bear
It must be there
Fear never wins
That's what I hope
See? I said "hope"
The work begins
