PROMISED HOPE

I walked out on the frozen river

And laid down on the ice

Put my ear against the coldness

Released the pain and cried

I could hear the water moving 

Down below

A promise of hope

It gave me hope

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Light a candle

Make a wish

Will that my fears

Are but a myth

There is something

Left to show

I believe in

Promised hope

The promise of hope

~~*~~

I caught a glimpse of my old spirit

It won't refuse me now

The proof the river could provide

Infused the faith somehow

The witness of water moving

Down below

Has brought it home

 And with it hope

Promised hope

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Light a candle

Make a wish

Will that my fears

Are but a myth

There is something

Left to show

I believe in

Promised hope

The promise of hope
