HOPE

There are times when you awake so fearful

that you can't even face the coming day.

You lie there waiting on a disaster

that you know is headed your way.

Well, you can always crawl in beside me

and I will always keep you warm.

I can't stop the rain from falling

but I can shelter you from the storm.

Chorus:

May all your troubles be ending

May your whole universe shine bright.

This little ray of hope that I'm sending

might help you make it through the night.


We have to walk the highway ever after

and I will walk right by your side.

Together we can share the hearty laughter

together we can dry the tears we cried.

You will always have my shoulder to lean on

and I will hold you in my arms.

I will do my best to defend you

and protect you from harm.

Instrumental

May all your troubles be ending

May your whole universe shine bright.

This little ray of hope that I'm sending

might help you make it through the night.

This little ray of hope that I'm sending

might help you make it through the night.

and end
