Lyrics
They named you Hope,
Wasn’t it Easter when you were born?
Hope, how could it be any other morn?
Hope, you’ve been my sunrise, my light, my dawn;
Till the end, I’ll believe in you!
Hope, you’re like the springtime that follows fall.
Hope, isn’t it spring when the bluebirds call?
Hope, my inspiration, my life, my all;
Till the end, I’ll believe in you!
Only love like your love ever could save me,
I’m so thankful for the new hope you gave me!
Hope, wasn’t it Easter when you were born?
Hope, how could it be any other morn?
Hope, you’ve been my sunrise, my light, my dawn;
Till the end, I’ll believe in you!
