Hope Will Find A Way
by: Kid KoalaYeah Yeah yeah yeah YEA!!
ican see a glimpse of your goodness,
in the beauty of the wide open sea .
i can see a ray,
of your mercy.
let your light have strayed,
through the clouds to me
(Chourus)
Everywhere I go,
i'm followed by this rainbow.
It's full of colors that remind me.
Speak your love for me.
And I can almost reach out and touch it.
I can almost see your face,
And I can almost see this world full of grace
like it was meant to be.
Goodness and Mercy and Peace.
Flowin' through the land.
From the heights of mountains to the depths
of the heart of the sea.
Troubles like clouds blown away,
If I could only capture this vision today
and sing it like healing,
to every broken heart.
I know that hope will find A way A way
I know that hope will find a way
I can feel the rain, it's fallin
like whispers from heaven to me
Carried by the wind,
It's Callin,
it's comin' to set my world free
(Chorus)
In the moonlight I lay back
Lost me in the stars
They can tie this in their beauty
it reminds me, of who you are
who you are, who you are
Goodness and Mercy and Peace.
Flowin' through the land.
From the heights of mountains to the depths
of the heart of the sea.
Troubles like clouds blown away,
If I could only capture this vision today
and sing it like healing,
to every broken heart.
I know that hope will find A way A way
I know that hope will find a way A way
