Hope Is the Anthem

Sometimes what you need is what you fight

Like a wounded man out on the run

Like shadows hiding from the light

But your love is what I was running from

Hope's a seed you have to sow

When you let it go it comes to life

So you stretch your arrows on the bow

And you pull them back and watch them fly

My heartbeat, my oxygen

My banner, my home

My future, my song

Your hope is the anthem of my soul

My lungs and I were born to fight

Sometimes I'm not sure what I'm fighting for

But death ain't the only end in sight

Cause this ain't a battle it's a lifelong war

My heartbeat, my oxygen

My banner, my home

My freedom, my song

Your hope is the anthem of my soul

Your hope is the anthem of my soul

My heart is beating like a blown speaker

The spirit is willing but the flesh is weaker

A distortion pedal and a pair of wings

And an anthem played on broken strings

My heartbeat, my oxygen

My banner, my home

My future, my song

Your hope is the anthem

Your hope is the anthem of my soul

Your hope is the anthem of my soul

Your hope is the anthem of my soul

Your hope is the anthem of my soul

Your hope is the anthem of my soul

Yeah could you make me whole?

(like holy water)
