Colony House - The Hope Inside

[Verse 1]
Db
Running with my eyes closed
Db
Weary flesh and bone
Db
I can feel the fire
Db
Burning in my lungs

[Chorus 1]
Bbm
Maybe there’s a reason why
Db
My heart pounds inside my chest
Fm
Saying it’s okay to take your time
Ab
Slow it down, you just need rest
Bbm
I’ve been holding on with all my might
Db
But can hardly catch my breath
Fm Ab
Thinking maybe it’s the hope inside that comes alive
Db
When it’s all we have left

[Verse 2]
Db
Dancing with the ocean
Db
Caught up in the tide
Db
I can feel the motion
Db
Pull me out to the cold and darker side, ooh-ooh

[Chorus 2]
Bbm
But maybe there’s a reason why
Db
I get dragged beneath the surface
Fm
Every kick against the current I
Ab
Sink down deeper and I ask myself
Bbm
Is there something more than meets the eye
Db
That makes all these troubles worth it?
Fm
Or could it be the hope inside
Ab
That comes alive
Db
When it’s all we have left?
Db
When it’s all we have left?

[Bridge 1]
Db
It’s alright
Ab
Yeah, it’s okay
Ebm
If this all
Gb
Stays the same
Bbm
Old dreams will die
Gb Ab
New dreams will grow
Ebm
But I just want
Gb
A hand to hold
Db
A hand to hold

[Bridge 2]
Db
We are the flowers that are ready for rain
Ab
Waiting on the water to restore what remains
Ebm
Wilted hearts harmonize together in pain
Gb Db
Singing hallelujah while we wait (A hand to hold)
Db
Echoing voices from inside of the hall
Ab
Spray-painted pictures on the side of the wall
Ebm
Looking for meaning in the midst of it all
Gb Db
Are we even listening anymore?

[Chorus 3]
Bbm
Maybe there’s a reason why
Ab
This world spins around in circles
Ebm
Like it’s giving us another try
Gb Db
Every sunrise to find purpose
Bbm
Has it been happening all this time
Db
Like another breath that goes unnoticed?
Fm Gb
I’m leaving what is lost behind to find the light
Ebm Ab
Oh, ’cause maybe it’s the hope inside that comes alive
Db
When it’s all we have left
