Lyrics

Where Hope Lives by Ryan Hamner

Where can you go
that feels warm like home
after a long day's fight
somewhere you're not alone
Where is a place to repair
with walls of affection
where can you go
Oh where will you go

[Chorus]
This is where hope lives
This is where hope thrives
Together as one we
All laugh and we cry
This is where hope breathes
A thousand stories collide
It's where hope heals
And while you're far from home
You're still at home tonight

A house painted with love
Protects the worn from the cold
A love painted with desire
To revive and soothe your soul
It will hold your heart
In its fostering hands
Tell me where can you go
Oh where can you go

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
This is not just a story
This is not just a song
This is life for all of us
who walk through the halls
This is not just a few words to make everyone believe
This is our hearts spilled onto paper
This is the help that sets us free

[Chorus]
