Hope Begins In The Dark

Hope begins at night 
When the lights are out
While you lay in bed 
In the dark 
And try to fall asleep. 
It’s when all the thoughts 
Start to creep in to your head 
And you want to grab a notebook 
And a pen 
And starting writing things down 
Like a maniac. 

So,
Hold on to that hope
And never ever let it go 


Hope begins
Outside under the stars 
That shine so brightly 
In the sky 
As you realize 
You need to shine 
Your light daily 
As much as you can 

So,
Hold on to that hope 
And never ever let it go 

Hope begins
In the forest 
Hiking up a mountain 
To a gorgeous view 
That will take your breath away 
And leave you feeling powerful and inspired 

So, 
Hold on to that hope
And never ever let it go 

Hope begins 
At the gym
When you throw on the boxing gloves 
And start throwing punches 
As hard as you can 

So,
Hold on to that hope
And never ever let it go 

Hope begins 
With a spark 
Inside of you 
So,
hold on to that hope 
And start unleashing it 
Into everything you do 
In your life.
