Holds Like Hope

The morning sun is coming up over my street

But you are watching stars where the shorelines meet

I trace the map

to where you are

It's quiet here

but I know you're not far

I feel the ocean breeze although we're miles apart

And every beat I hear is echoing your heart (oooh)

Every shade of blue in the open sky

Reminds me of the day we said goodbye

But under the same sun,

under the same light

We are holding on

through the longest night (holding on)

Your letters are the compass that keeps me on track

I read the words and know

that there's no looking back

We chose this road,

we chose this fight

We are the dawn

that follows the night

And distance is only a number on a page

A temporary curtain upon a golden stage When we meet again,

the colors will return

For this spark will always burn

(always

burn)

Every shade of blue in the open sky

Reminds me of the day we said goodbye But under the same

sun,

under the same light

We are holding on

through the longest night

(ooh, holding on)

We're holding on...

Every shade of

blue... (ahhhh)
