LYRICS:
I See Hope by Phil Circle
I see hope
I see things we know we do when we cope
I see you
A version I’ve known and another I don’t
I see sun
I see light where you don’t and it’s fading the cracks
I see one youth changing it all
Winter never turns into fall
I see hope
You see me
I feel answers swirling around in a sea
Of the mind
When it leads with the heart and victory looms
Above all
We have reasons to rise and reasons to fall
I see one youth changing it all
Winter never turns into fall
I see hope
You’re losin’ losin’ losin’ losin’
You’re winnin’ winnin’ winnin’ winnin’
I ask you
Are you one with the whole or alone with the few
Can’t you see
There’s nothing of substance between you and me
I see hope
I see things we know we do when we cope
I see one youth changing it all
Winter never turns into fall
I see hope
