[Verse 1]
So I lift my hands to the God that guides me
To the one that finds me even in my darkest days
He walks beside me singin' songs of freedom
Oh, He's singing songs of life
And they're leading me out of the darkness
And then bringing me into the light, hey
He never said it would be easy, no
He never said we would be safe

[Chorus]
My hope, my hope, my hope, ho-o-o-ope
Hoo-oo-oo-oo, who-o-o-o-oa
My hope, my hope, my hope, ho-o-o-ope
Hoo-oo-oo-oo, who-o-o-o-oa

[Drop]

[Verse 2]
Long live the people on the streets
Hustlin' all day to go home and feed their families
Just tryin' to make ends meet
They're grindin' but they're findin' that they’re still facin' defeat
Long live the people that don't feel they're equal
Workin' hard to pay the wages, others playin' in casinos
Long live the ones on the ru-un
I hope they find the love they're lookin' for
And purpose they've been runnin' from
[Chorus]
My hope, my hope, my hope, ho-o-o-ope
Hoo-oo-oo-oo, who-o-o-o-oa
My hope, my hope, my hope, ho-o-o-ope
Hoo-oo-oo-oo, who-o-o-o-oa

[Drop]

[Verse 3]
He never said it would be easy, no
He never said we would be safe
He never said the path we're walking on
Oh, it wouldn't have hurdles to face
But the Lord did promise me freedom
Oh, the Lord did promise me strength
He said we'd soar on wings of eagles
And not grow weary or faint, yea-a-ah

[Chorus]
My hope, my hope, my hope, ho-o-o-ope
Hoo-oo-oo-oo, who-o-o-o-oa
My hope, my hope, You're my world, You're my hope
Hoo-oo-oo-oo, who-o-o-o-oa

[Drop]
My hope, my hope, You're my world, You're my hope
(There is hope in every situation, all this pain I'm facing)
Yes you are, yes You are, o-o-oh
(For every dream I'm chasing there's hope, whoa-o-o-oh, whoa-o-o-ohhhh)
You are my hope
My hope, my world, You're my joy
(There is hope in every situation, all this pain I'm facing)
You're my hope, You're my world
(For every dream I'm chasing there's hope, whoa-o-o-oh, whoa-o-o-ohhhh)
You're my world, You're my hope
(There is hope, whoa-o-o-oh, whoa-o-o-ohhhh)
