You are a lighthouse when I'm lost at sea You are the language that I'm trying to speak You are the taste that keeps me thirsting You are the courage running through my veins You are the compass pointing to a better way And You are the whisper beckoning me Ho - pe is rising, Ho - pe is on the move In the air and on the ground in my head and all around Ho - pe is rising You are infectious you're spreading through me And you are the melody that I want to sing You are the tempo beating within my chest, within my chest It is rising, it is rising, it is rising up It is rising, it is rising, it is rising up
