Hope for Now

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 ghost

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
Oh, no

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

Then I would sing
All that I can 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 the moment
Things would seem alright

Oh, when I sing
Oh, when I sing
Oh, when I sing
Oh, when I sing
