Hope Is The Anthem Lyrics
Sometimes what you need is what you fight
Like a wounded man out on the run
Like shadows hiding from the light
But your love is what I was running from
Hope's a seed you have to sow
When you let it go it comes to life
So you stretch your arrows on the bow
And you pull them back and watch them fly
My heartbeat
My oxygen
My banner
My home
My future
My song
Your hope is the anthem of my soul
My lungs and I were born to fight
Sometimes I'm not sure what I'm fighting for
But death ain't the only end in sight
Cause this ain't a battle it's a lifelong war
My heartbeat
My oxygen
My banner
My home
My future
My song
Your hope is the anthem of my soul
Your hope is the anthem of my soul
My heart is beating like a blown speaker
The spirit is willing but the flesh is weaker
A distortion pedal and a pair of wings
And an anthem played on broken strings
My heartbeat
My oxygen
My banner
My home
My future
My song
Your hope is the anthem
Your hope is the anthem of my soul
Your hope is the anthem of my soul
Your hope is the anthem of my soul
Your hope is the anthem of my soul
Your hope is the anthem of my soul
Like a wounded man out on the run
Like shadows hiding from the light
But your love is what I was running from
When you let it go it comes to life
So you stretch your arrows on the bow
And you pull them back and watch them fly
My oxygen
My banner
My home
My future
My song
Your hope is the anthem of my soul
Sometimes I'm not sure what I'm fighting for
But death ain't the only end in sight
Cause this ain't a battle it's a lifelong war
My oxygen
My banner
My home
My future
My song
Your hope is the anthem of my soul
Your hope is the anthem of my soul
The spirit is willing but the flesh is weaker
A distortion pedal and a pair of wings
And an anthem played on broken strings
My oxygen
My banner
My home
My future
My song
Your hope is the anthem
Your hope is the anthem of my soul
Your hope is the anthem of my soul
Your hope is the anthem of my soul
Your hope is the anthem of my soul

"We live in the tension of infinite dreams trapped inside finite bodies. It's a if death and eternity are fighting within us. And in these postmodern times, we long for the good, the true, the beautiful- but hope is hard to find. Headlines of fear and despair come at us every morning. War, genocide, divorce, racism... It's easy to get discouraged.
Or bitter. Or cynical.
Maybe you think that you want control. So you hold on tight. Your open hands become fists, squeezing the life out of what you're trying to hold. Choking the very thing that means most. Maybe you want to escape, to run away from the pain. A positive resolution feels impossible, and a part of you begins to die. The part of you that believed in other humans, humans that don't look like you. Yeah, sometimes what you need is what you fight. But there comes a time to stop running away. A time to start healing. Admit there's a problem, that's a start. Acknowledge the wounds within you. Acknowledge the wounds around you." -- Jon Foreman
