There's a clock timing the world as it turns

There's a man marking the candle as it burns

Keeping track of every minute that remains



Still we hope somehow

It's gonna be alright

It's gonna turn out fine



There's a light shining beyond the southern cross

Burning bright for everyone of us who's lost

More than faith more than a reason to go on



Rise on up knowing

You're gonna win the fight

It's gonna turn out fine



You gotta hope it'll be alright

Come on and hope it'll turn out fine

Yeah, hope it'll be alright, please



When the night turns to the deepest shade of black

At that point there is no reason to turn back

High above angels are falling from the sky



Lift your heart knowing

It's gonna be alright

It's gonna turn out fine



You gotta hope it'll be alright

Come on and hope it'll turn out fine

Yeah, hope it'll be alright, please



You gotta hope, ya gonna win the fight

Come on 'n hope with all your might

Yeah hope it's gonna be alright, please



Millions of people alone in the dark

Awaiting a moment of hope



Please



You gotta hope (Whenever times get tough) it'll be alright

Come on and hope (And when the road is rough) it'll turn out fine

Yeah, hope (Just when you've had enough) it'll be alright, please



You gotta hope (Whenever times get tough) you're gonna win the fight

Come on and hope (And when the road is rough) with all your might

Yeah, hope (Just when you've had enough) it's gonna be alright, please



You gotta hope (Whenever times get tough) it'll be alright

Come on and hope (And when the road is rough) it'll turn out fine

Yeah, hope (Ju
