Lyrics
(MALE LEAD)
When all that you live for....
All your dreams and what you pray for
Seems nothing's left
You can do
(FEMALE LEAD)
When you need some inspiration....
I'll be your wings of elevation
The power of faith
Will see you through
(horn section, drums transition to 4/4 verse)
(Transition to 4/4)
(1st Verse, Male Lead) (Add horn section between leads)
I have a story about love
About a soul
Who needs no affirmation
(Cont. 1st Verse, Female Lead)
I have a message from the heart
From the spirit above
It's my confirmation
Extended Verse (NEW)
Where do we go...
Tell me, who do we know...
Can lead us all beyond the dark?
You as my witness
Who never will leave us
This feeling I know
So deep in my heart...
(Chorus / dual lead) (Add tambourine)
It's about hope,
It's about faith,
It's about dreams,
It's about love...
It's about hope,
A vow to believe,
It's about strength,
To reach up above
(Break & transition to verse)
"To the stars...and the star that you are" (spoken behind the chorus melody)
(2nd Verse Male Lead)
I stand before you here to say...
Take a look around you
It's a congregation
(2nd Verse Female Lead)
All hands together now we pray...
Let strength abound you
It's my proclamation
Extended Verse (NEW)
Where do we go...
Tell me, who do we know...
Can lead us all beyond the dark?
You as my witness
Who never will leave us
This feeling I know
So deep in my heart
(Chorus / dual lead) (Add tambourine)
It's about hope,
It's about faith,
It's about dreams,
It's about love...
It's about hope,
A vow to believe,
It's about strength,
To reach up above
(Bridge with dual leads and choir backing)
When the storm clouds cast their shadow...
And turbulence pulls you apart
Just take my hands into your spirit
I'll be the rainbow in your heart
(Solos: Clarinet / Guitar) (Add tambourine)
(Repeat Chorus w/choir/ background solos)
(Add Hand Claps, Lead vamps, call/response with choir)
It's about hope,
It's about faith,
It's about dreams,
It's about love...
It's about hope,
A vow to believe,
It's about strength,
To reach up above
