In the dark, alone and cold, a world so wrong,
Dreaming of a hand to hold, the whole night long.
And I wish I could be there for you,
Wanna make everything ok,
Though I can't find the words, still I know
Hope carries on.
Though your dreams are broken now, just dust and tears,
Those you loved, still close somehow, will ease your fears.
And I wish they could be there with you,
So they'd make everything ok,
Though I can't find the words, still I know
Hope carries on.
Believe me that the hope carries on.
Carries on - believe me that the hope carries on.
See those clouds? Watch the sun shine through.
Feel the warmth. Let it strengthen you.
See those clouds? Watch the sun shine through.
Feel the warmth. Let it strengthen you.
Take my hand, I'm reaching out, I'm by your side.
Raise your voice. We'll sing aloud, the whole world wide.
And I wish I could be there for you,
Wanna make everything ok,
Though I can't find the words, still I know
Hope carries on.
Believe me that the hope carries on.
Carries on - believe me that the hope carries on /
See those clouds? Watch the sun shine through.
Feel the warmth. Let it strengthen you /
Hope will carry on. Hope will carry on.
Hope will carry on. Won't you believe me when I say?
And I wish I could be there for you,
Wanna make everything ok,
Though I can't find the words, still I know
Hope carries on.
