Who said that living was easy
Who said it was tough
She has the power to deceive me, occasionally rough
Her name is Hope and she holds the key to our dreams, for sure
She is the light in the tunnel
Come try once more
When Hope is coming to town
I'm always losing sleep
She brings me up when I'm down
I'm falling oh so deep
I'm getting ready to take one more leap
I am the mayor of Peterville
I'm king of this land
Nothing can stop me from making it
I am my own brand
She bids you welcome to glory, but lives on the street of pain
She is the bringer of sunshine, the bringer of rain
When Hope is coming to town
I'm always losing sleep
She brings me up when I'm down
I'm falling oh so deep
I'm getting ready to take one more leap
When Hope is coming to town
She rocks my blues away
I feel so good in my crown
Forever and a day
I'm always begging her please, please stay
She's by my side through thick and thin
She fuels the fire deep within
