The Light of Hope
[Verse 1]
All that I see now is not the same
All you remember has gone away
But you're still standin' here
So much has happened, it's hard to bear
Shadows of sadness within your stare
But still, you're standin' here

[Pre-Chorus]
There beyond, the future's down the road
But the journey won't be easy
Rising up, and standin' on your own
With a beauty in your eyes, shinin'

[Chorus]
You have not lost a thing
Whatever may come
The light of hope is always shinin' there in your heart
You've not lost a thing
Whatever you do
Just know that your tomorrow will be waiting for you

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Ever so precious, a vision shared
The future you promised on that special day
Still, memories never fade
Friends of old, back from long ago
Will come again, just to say hello
And it’s something that you know
[Pre-Chorus]
Find the strength that lies within your soul
And believe that you can do it
Rising up and standin' on your own
With a beauty in your eyes, shinin'

[Chorus]
You have not lost a thing
Whatever may come
The light of hope is always shining there in your heart
You've not lost a thing
Whatever you do
Just know that your tomorrow will be waiting for you
Never have to give up
Whatever may come
The light of hope is always shining there in your heart
Haven’t lost anything
No matter what comes
You'll know inside that here is right where you always are

[Bridge]
Sow a seed in the ground and let it know
It's something special
Let it bloom, let its flowers ever bloom
Many friends gather as emotions grow
And great power starts to flow!
[Chorus]
You have not lost a thing
Whatever may come
The light of hope is always shining there in your heart
You've not lost a thing
Whatever you do
Just know that your tomorrow will be waiting for you
Never have to give up
Wherever you go
Know inside that you will never be there alone
Haven’t lost anything
Whatever may come
The light of hope is always shining there in your heart
