When holding your breath is safer than breathing

When letting go is braver than keeping

When innocent words turn to lies

And you can't hide by closing your eyes.

When the pain is all that they offer

Like the kiss from the lips of monster

You know the famine so well, you never met the feast

And home is the belly of the beast.

The ocean is wild and over your head

And the boat beneath you is sinking

Don't need room for your bags

Hope is all that you have

So say the lord's prayer twice, hold your babies tight

Surely someone will reach out a hand

And show you a safe place to land.

Imagine yourself in a building

Up in flames being told to stand still

The window's wide open

This leap is on faith

You don't know who will catch you

Maybe somebody will.

The ocean is wild and over your head

And the boat beneath you is sinking

Don't need room for your bags

Hope is all that you have

So say the lord's prayer twice, hold your babies tight

Surely someone will reach out a hand

And show you a safe place to land.

Be the hand of a hopeful stranger

Little scared but you're strong enough

Be the light in the dark of this danger

'til the sun comes up.

Be the hand of a hopeful stranger

Little scared but you're strong enough

Be the light in the dark of this danger

'til the sun comes up.

Be the hand of a hopeful stranger

Little scared but you're strong enough

Be the light in the dark of this danger

'til the sun comes up.

Be the hand of a hopeful stranger

Little scared but you're strong enough

Be the light in the dark of this danger

'til the sun comes up

'til the sun comes up

'til the sun comes up.
