Waiting for the sun to go down,
stop lighting up the flaws I've found.
Feeling surrounded by a fortress of doubt and
the walls are all made of glass,
but looking through I only see the past.
And if I find the inspiration that I seek,
there always seems to be a higher peak;
too high to climb from the fortress of my mind,
but I won't let that stop me.
There's something in us all worthy to be freed.
'Cause hope is waiting. Hope is waiting.
Hope is waiting, waiting for a chance to breathe.
I know I'm free to be who I want to be,
but sometimes it's hard to see.
This life is a wonder, but this pressure I'm under,
sometimes it feels like a crown
and it's weighing my mind down.
But hope is waiting. Hope is waiting.
Hope is waiting, waiting for a chance to breathe.
Even when you're taking the wrong way down
from the last high you found...
When life feels too long now,
like the flame's dead and gone out...
Hope is waiting. Hope is waiting.
Hope is waiting, waiting for a chance to breathe.
Hope is waiting. Hope is waiting.
Hope is waiting, waiting for a chance to breathe.
Waiting for you and me.
Hope is waiting, so give it a chance to breathe.
Hope is waiting to be.
