Choosing Hope

Fought and won the battle Looked them in the eyes Knew it wasn't over but we could celebrate the night Hush my babies don't you cry, it don't look like me but I'm here inside Sit and burn the candle on both ends every night Falling down and getting up, learning a new life Life of a survivor Facing new desires Won't sit down Gotta ignite us Holding on Yes I've had enough but I'm not giving up On my darkest days love will hold me up I will survive And I choose hope I've come this far I wanna see what's next I'm not letting go If I don't wake up tomorrow I got no regrets So I choose hope Count the blessings till my very last breath Wear the scars so proudly Roadmap to my life If I stand for something maybe I can heal my tribe Daring greatly to fuel this fire Solid faith when reality lies What happens in the darkness when fear and pain collide Find that guiding light, stand for all who cant fight Yes we can break boundaries No I won't stay silent Be the change I wanna see Gotta ignite us Holding on Yes I've had enough but I'm not giving up On my darkest days love will hold me up I will survive And I choose hope I've come this far I wanna see what's next I'm not letting go If I don't wake up tomorrow I got no regrets Didn't think I would make it I just couldn't admit it Was crashing and burning but it woke up my spirit So I choose hope Count the blessings till my very last breath Ooh Got a decision to make, can't sit in this heartache Ooh Got a lot to protect, refuse to give up yet Ooh ooh ooh ooh Strength of a soldier, Heart of a lion Ooh ooh ooh ooh I'll be the one you can rely on And I choose hope I've come this far I wanna see what's next I'm not letting go If I don't wake up tomorrow I got no regrets So I choose hope Count the blessings till my very last breath
