[Verse 1]

We set out for the lonely (lonely)

Before the break of dawn (of dawn)

The city lights were blinking (were blinking)

But everyone was gone (was gone)

Nothing to live or die for (or die for)

But we still risk it all (it all)

And bet it on the future (the future)

Without a crystal ball

[Chorus]

Hope, hope for the best

Hope for the rest of our life

Till the day that we die

No, never confess

Bury regrets in the sand

While we reach for the sky

[Verse 2]

My father used to tell me

That nothing good is free

But maybe that’s the difference

'Tween my old man and me (ahh ahh ahh)

Not something you can pay for (ahh ahh ahh)

Not something you can buy (ahh ahh ahh)

It’s only in the moments (ahh ahh ahh)

That make you feel alive

[Chorus]

Hope, hope for the best

Hope for the rest of our life

Till the day that we die

No, never confess

Bury regrets in the sand

While we reach for the sky

(Hope, hope, hope)

(Hope, hope, hope)

[Bridge]

We’ll never see the ending

Until it’s much too late

They’ll read about our history

And celebrate the date

[Chorus]

Hope, hope for the best

Hope for the rest of our life

Till the day that we die

No, never confess

Bury regrets in the sand

While we reach for the sky

[Chorus]

Hope (hope), hope for the best

Hope for the rest of our life

Till the day that we die

No (no), never confess

Bury regrets in the sand

While we reach for the sky

[Outro]

(Hope, hope)

Holding on to hope

(Hope, hope)

I'll be holding onto hope

(Hope, hope)

Holding on to hope

(Hope, hope)

I'll be holding onto

Hope, hope for the best

Hope for the rest of our life

Till the day that we die
