HOPE FLOATS
Amanda McBroom/Michele Brourman
SOMETIMES YOU FEEL
THE RAIN WILL KEEP FALLING FOREVER
YOU’RE WASHING AWAY
LIKE A LOST LITTLE CREPE PAPIER BOAT
YOU THINK THAT YOUR LIFE
WILL ALWAYS BE WINTERSTORM WEATHER
BUT IF YOU GIVE HER A CHANCE, HOPE FLOATS
LIKE A BIRD OUT ON THE OCEAN
LIKE A WILD MILK THISTLE SEED
SHE’LL CHASE AWAY YOUR CLOUDY DAY
AND BRING THE LIGHT YOU NEED
WHEN SORROW SITS ON YOUR SHOULDER
LIKE A SAD OLD WORN OUT COAT
IF YOU REACH OUT YOUR ARMS
TO HOLD HER
HOPE FLOATS
SOME PEOPLE FIND THAT LOVE IS AS EASY AS BREATHING
NO ONE THAT THEY EVER LOVE’S
GONNA TELL THEM GOODBYE
BUT WHEN YOUR HEART’S BEEN HURT TOO MUCH
YOU GIVE UP ON BELIEVING
AND IF YOU FOUND SOME WINGS YOU’D FLY
LIKE A BIRD OUT ON THE OCEAN
LIKE A COMET IN THE NIGHT
YOU DON’T KNOW WHERE YOU’RE GOING TO
YOU’RE ONLY TAKING FLIGHT
WHEN ALL THOSE TENDER FEELINGS
THEY CATCH RIGHT IN YOUR THROAT
LIKE A BREATH OF SPRING INSIDE YOU
HOPE FLOATS
LIKE A BIRD OUT ON THE OCEAN
LIKE A WILD MILK THISTLE SEED
SHE’LL CHASE AWAY YOUR CLOUDY DAY
AND BRING THE LIGHT YOU NEED
EVERY SONG THAT LIFE ‘S GONNA SING YOU
WILL HAVE SOME BITTER SWEET NOTES
BUT LIKE AN ANGEL ON YOUR SHOULDER
HOPE FLOATS
AND IF YOU REACH OUT YOUR ARMS TO HOLD HER
HOPE FLOATS
