Hoping Against Hope

Hoping against hope In the photograph I see the spark Long gone now, an echo of fire It's time to face the fact There's no second act We're down with the dead now Forgotten and cold But whiles I'm still captain Of this sinking ship We're gonna go down, boys With a song on our lips Yeah, we're hoping against hope Yeah, we're hoping against hope Look me in the eye Tell me there's still time I just want to hear that Pretty white lie Come on Lazarus child Raise yourself a smile You got what we all want A comeback with style So join me on deck boys It's a beautiful storm We'll dance in the lightning Till all hope is gone Yeah, we're hoping against hope Yeah, we're hoping against hope Lalalalala lalalala lalalalala It's gonna be okay Come on my lover, my sisters and brothers Stand here beside me, sing out the lie It's gonna be okay It's gonna be okay Such a pretty white lie. A beautiful lie.
