Hope Alive

Intro Em  C  Am  Bm 

                   Em                C 
I saw the hardened ground, a land so bare 
            Am                      Bm 
Yet still I tried to find something there 
           C                 Am 
With weary hands, I held my stance 

               Bm 
Even when the world said 
                     Em 
Quit, don't take the chance 

                        C 
They said: you won't succeed 
                          Am 
But what is born through faith 
               Em 
Doesn't follow numbers 
             Bm 
And makes no mistakes 

                       C 
Through the dyas of struggle, of waiting, of pain 

                     Em 
In the hardship and losses, the lessons that I gained 
            Am                                   Bm 
But it was will that made the roots grow strong inside 

                                     Em 
And now I see the fort that I can't hide 

                      C 
And the strength kept pushing me on 
                 Em 
Through the storm, a new dawn shone 
               Bm 
Now my voice's finally free 
                         Em 
There's a fire burning inside me! 
                      C 
For the promise came alive 
                       Em 
Time has shown the will survives 
                            Bm 
To the ones who said you'll fall 
                                  Em 
Now they see the light will never die 

                                         C 
Remember when it felt like all would disappear? 
                  Em 
But even darkness taught us how to persevere 
              Bm 
What once was failure turned into the guide 
              Em 
What once was burden became a hope alive 

                  C 
The shadow never faded 

It carries purpose deep 
    Em 
It only needs a heart 
         Bm             Em 
That dares to still believe 

            C 
And the strength kept pushing me on 
            Em 
Through the storm, a new dawn shone 
        Bm 
Now my voice's finally free 
            Em 
There's a fire burning inside me! 
                       C 
For the promise came alive 
            Em 
Time has shown the will survives 
                            Bm 
To the ones who said you'll fall 
                                  Em 
Now they see the light will never die
