Verse 1
In every generation hope is alive
In the heart of every woman, man and child
A worldwide phenomenon of one mighty voice
I’ll keep holding on until I am gone
Chorus 1
Like a candle burning in the wind, I’m vulnerable
Like time in an hourglass with no tomorrow
But here on out, beyond all doubt
The future is bright though the lights go out
You can’t keep hope in the ground
Verse 2
All the ways that I’ve learned that this ole world was no good
People dying on every corner; I never understood
But then I see in every generation hope can survive
So, I’ll keep going on as long as I’m alive
Chorus 2
Like a candle burning in the wind, I’m vulnerable
It’s like time in an hourglass with no tomorrow
But here on out, beyond all doubt
The future rolls on while the sand runs out
You can’t keep hope in the ground
Bridge
If the stars are permitted to dance the night away
And the songbirds announce every morn
And if lovers will love one another ‘til the end of all their days
I don’t wanna lose my sense of wonder
Since often times I wonder (chorus 1)
