Hope feat. Jenny Rheume
Chorus:
Everyday we feel this pain
I know we're getting closer
I know we're getting closer
I know we're getting closer
Need someone to take this pain
We need something to hope for
We need something to hope for
We need something to hope for

Verse 1:
Hanging with the fellas summer started
Eating like a king at Olive Garden
Waitress at the table just to greet us
Asked us what we'd like to eat first
But first would you like a glass of wine with your starter
Sorry, I usually just get a water
Got some sass, a lot of humor for a person
But truth be told, the inside she was hurting
Cause a couple weeks ago she said her sister passed away
Hard to smile with her face, cast away the rain
Rather die and dig her grave to meet the makers name
And hope that death is better just to take away the pain

Chorus:
Everyday we feel this pain
I know we're getting closer
I know we're getting closer
I know we're getting closer
Need someone to take this pain
We need something to hope for
We need something to hope for
We need something to hope for

Verse 2:
Downtown at the circle
On a Sunday, parking's free
Saw a fella with a cup of change
Got some scruff on his goatee
My backpack got some chance that I forgot about
Told him he could have it when I pulled it out
Got to know his story why he stopped working
On the railroad and now his back hurting
Got some surgery to try to fix the problem
Took a couple nuts and bolts but it could never really solve it
Wants to work, but his burden is a physical condition
But he prays that his condition won't affect a job position

Chorus:
Everyday we feel this pain
I know we're getting closer
I know we're getting closer
I know we're getting closer
Need someone to take this pain
We need something to hope for
We need something to hope for
We need something to hope for

Verse 3:
I've felt rain on the sunniest days the scattered clouds
Shake it off is like drying off without a towel
And so I let the son bring the sunshine
Don't ignore the hard times, give it all to divine
I met a lot of people in the middle of the struggle
The ones that's outside of the Christian bubble
Father son and the ghost are the ones
That make it better and the ones that these people gonna hope for

Chorus (x3):
Everyday we feel this pain
I know we're getting closer
I know we're getting closer
I know we're getting closer
Need someone to take this pain
We need something to hope for
We need something to hope for
We need something to hope for
