[Verse 1]
When life’s got you down
And you can’t make a sound
‘Cause love has forsaken you
When you’re burning on fire
But have no desire
To put out the flames and move

[Chorus]
You gotta have hope
You gotta have something
There’s always a reason to break
Hope
‘Cause nothing less
Will save the day

[Verse 2]
When you are in pain
Then step off the train
Nobody’s waiting for you
You can knock down each door
Of all metaphors
Or embrace the cold hard truth

[Chorus]
But you gotta have hope
You gotta have something
There’s always a reason to break
Hope
‘Cause nothing less
Will save the day
[Bridge]
I see that look in your eyes
I’ve seen it before
Each to our own disguise
If you need me babe
You’re not alone, no, no

[Verse 3]
When life’s got you down
And you can’t make a sound
‘Cause despair has stolen your song
But raise up your fist
And into the abyss
Scream, “Coward, get off my lawn”

[Chorus]
Hope
Something
There’s always a reason to break
Hope
‘Cause nothing less
Will save the day
