[Verse 1]

The sun is closing on our backs

Rushing up these hills so fast

We ain't got no time to breathe

The tropic air is dressed in fog

These mountaintops ain't what we thought

Where do we go from here?

[Pre-Chorus]

And are we finished and turning back?

Are we drunk on blind romance?

Do we know who we are?

[Chorus]

Hope's not giving up on us

Embrace the journey and move on

You've got one life to live now

Join the anthem in the doubt

Hope's still working all things out

Hope lives here

Hope lives here

[Verse 2]

A precious daughters toils in heat

Twelve, and mining sand to eat

She ain't got no time to breathe

Her mom draws water from the well

She's the family rock, their citadel

Where can she go from here?

[Pre-Chorus]

And are we finished and turning back?

Are we drunk on blind romance?

Do we know who we are?

[Chorus]

Hope's not giving up on us

Embrace the journey and move on

You've got one life to live now

Join the anthem in the doubt

Hope's still working all things out

Hope lives here

Hope lives here

Hope lives here

Hope lives here

[Bridge]

Rise up and sing along

Against all odds

Hope can break through the toughest walls

Sing out 'cause you belong

You've got your voice, you've got your song

So join the struggle, join the fight

'Cause hope's not giving up

[Chorus]

Hope's not giving up on us

Embrace the journey and move on

You've got one life to live now

Join the anthem in the doubt

Hope's still working all things out

Hope lives here

Hope lives here

Hope lives here

Hope lives here
