lyrics

Long nights, bare before realities that won’t back down
Blurred lines, drawing futile boundaries
Between fear and doubt

Palms wide, grasping in the dark for anything to say
Fists tight, but all I have is sand that quickly falls away

Nothing’s left of words to bring
To questions without answering
But I’m still here, it’s you and me
And the greatest words we learned from love
Are “hope is real, and hope will be enough”

Dry eyes, robbed past your tears by how it feels to fight
But tonight, we’ll make something from nothing
While we’re side by side

For all that’s left is wondering
Like wintertime for barren trees
But I’m still here, it’s you and me
And the greatest words we learned from love
Are “hope is real, and hope will be enough”

So hear the words screaming out
From our two hands we’re holding tight
Hear the words shouted loud
From what it means to sacrifice
Hear the words behind the words
When I say, “we’re not giving up”
Hear the words that we once heard
There’s hope in love and we have love, we have love
