"Hope" lyrics

"Hope"

Hope climbs atop of the piano
Reaching out towards the warmth of the sun
Some man tries to ask her down
Well now maybe that's where she belongs

"My God," she said
"I'm a sunflower that wants"
"My God," he said
"This woman is gone"
Into the dark
Is there anybody there?
"My God," she said
"My God," she said
"My God," she said
"My God," she said

He climbed up top to find that she was slipping
Let her go, let her go, let her go, let me go
How long must they leave before they're winning?
They don't know, they don't know, they just don't know

"My God," she said
"I'm a sunflower that wants"
"My God," he said
"This woman is gone"
Into the dark
Is there anybody there?
"My God," she said
"My God," she said
"My God," she said
"My God," she said
"My God," she said

You can't be there
I know it's best that
Nothing is denied
You can't be there
I know it's best that
Everyone changes sides

Into the dark
Is there anybody there?
Into the light
Is there anybody there?
Into the dark
Is there anybody there? No
Into the light, to the light, to the light
"My God," she said
"My God," she said
"My God," she said
"My God," she said
My God
My God
My God
My God

If she can't be there
I know it's best that
Nothing is denied
If she can't be there
I know it's best that
Everyone changes sides
