Hope Dies Last

歌詞

When the winds whip the barricades And day has turned to night The storm beats down the shelters of the poor When the thunder is upon us And we search in vain for light And fear pounds her fist on every door As the water rises Our hearts are filled with fright Still we seek the sight on yonder shore Hope dies last It is the flame that feeds the fire Hope dies last It is the dream that drives us higher We revive We remember We're not the first, not the last Ever holding fast Hope dies last David met Goliath On the battlefield that day Armed with hope, smooth and hard as a stone Moses faced the pharaoh And led the children all away Until he ascended to the mountain top alone Still we wander in the wilderness Searching for a way But to find that we were never far from home Hope dies last It is the flame that feeds the fire Hope dies last It is the dream that drives us higher We revive We remember Not the first, not the last Ever holding fast Hope dies last It is the cool breeze in the mineshaft The shipwrecked sailor's dream Message in a bottle We are more than we seem Hope dies last Every seed we lay to rest Every promise that's foretold Every prayer that we offer up on high Every ship we point to harbor Every hand we reach to hold Every lonely voice that dares to question why Every child we bring to birth Every vision we unfold Every dream that keeps us reaching for the sky Hope dies last It is the flame that feeds the fire Hope dies last It is the dream that drives us higher We revive We remember Not the first, not the last Ever holding fast (x2) Hope dies last
