I hope that life will kiss me
I hope it lingers on my tongue
I hope that I'm still standing
When all the living done
And I know that hope can be a tool of the wicked
And I know that I'm just a girl with a dream
And I know the chances, but I won't waver
Because I've got a day
I'm waiting for
I hope that life will hold me
The way a mother holds her child
I hope that life will whisper
Its secret like lullabies
And I know that hope can be a tool of the wicked
And I know that I'm just a girl with a dream
And I know the chances, but I won't waver
Because I've got a day
And when I'm feeling weighed down by choices I have made
I know that I can't give up, for I must have that day
I must have that day
A sunset my baby and me
We're looking over the life
That we created
I turn and see they're watching me
A tear forms down my face
They brush it away and place a kiss in its place
And I know that hope can be a tool of the wicked
And I know that I'm just a girl with a dream
And I know the chances, but I won't waver
Because I've got a day
Worth living for
