Hope for Now Lyrics
This highway's dark and empty:
Just miles and miles of endless road.
I've got a sickness pounding in my head.
I'm at the mercy of the ghosts.
What would it take to live
As if I would not another day;
To live without despair,
And to be without disdain?
How can I instill such hope,
But be left with none of my own?
What if I could sing just one song
And it might save somebody's life?
I sought after --
After reasons to stay.
I was lost.
I was lost.
Then the sky turned black,
And the rains poured down.
I was waiting --
Waiting to be found.
Then I would sing
All that I could sing.
'Cause that is when --
When I feel that I'm not just counting time.
Oh, when I sing
All that I can sing.
Maybe just for a moment, things would seem all right.
Oh, when I sing.
Just miles and miles of endless road.
I've got a sickness pounding in my head.
I'm at the mercy of the ghosts.
As if I would not another day;
To live without despair,
And to be without disdain?
How can I instill such hope,
But be left with none of my own?
What if I could sing just one song
And it might save somebody's life?
After reasons to stay.
I was lost.
I was lost.
Then the sky turned black,
And the rains poured down.
I was waiting --
Waiting to be found.
All that I could sing.
'Cause that is when --
When I feel that I'm not just counting time.
Oh, when I sing
All that I can sing.
Maybe just for a moment, things would seem all right.
Oh, when I sing.

I love this song. It's quiet, then just tears everything apart. Great way to end off an amazing album.
:'S
You inspired me to play the guitar, thank you Dallas, Your music saved my life.
When I hear this song all I can think about is how two people could be singing it by verses...
The first and third is a person battling to stay alive and the second, third and fourth is a different person hoping to keep them alive.
