Hope Songtext
von Jason Robert Brown

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
