Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I hope that the world stops raining
Stops turning it's back on the young
See nobody here is blameless
I hope that we can fix all that we've done
[Verse 2]
I really hope Martin can see this
I hope that we still have a dream
I'm hoping that change is't hopeless
I'm hoping to start it with me
[Verse 3]
I just hope I'm not the only one
Yeah, I just hope I'm not the only one
[Verse 4]
I hope we start seeing forever
Instead of what we can gain in a day
I hope we start seeing each other
'Cause don't we all bleed the same?
[Verse 5]
I really hope someone can hear me
That a child doesn't bear the weight of a gun
Hope I find a voice within me
To scream at the top of my lungs
[Verse 6]
I just hope I'm not the only one
Yeah, I just hope I'm not the only one
[Verse 7]
Louder, I cannot hear you
How can things be better left unsaid?
Call me, call me a dreamer
But it seems like dreams are all that we've got left
[Verse 8]
I hope we still have a heartbeat
I hope we don't turn to snow
At night when you turn the lights off
I hope you don't cry alone
[Verse 9]
I hope we stop taking for granted
All of the land and all of the sea
I'm taking a chance on loving
I hope that you take it with me
[Verse 10]
I just hope I'm not the only one
I just hope I'm not the only one
I just hope I'm not the only one
