lyrics
I wasn't expecting a free ride
For this to be fine
To all be alright
Maybe some hard work has paid off
Or maybe it's me
Maybe I've changed
I looked to escape from the danger
I looked for a way out of harm's way
And suddenly here in a new place
I am surprised to find I'm alive
Hope is closer than you think
It caught me unaware
It was just round the corner
Hope is closer than you think
It caught me unprepared
As if out of nowhere
I've always been dragging a grey cloud
Waiting for pain
And waiting to fail
Contentment is here at my door
Look it straight in the face
And don't be afraid
I always believed if you held it
Then it would be gone
Been anxious so long
But once in a while there's a blue sky
So dare it to stay
We're starting to play now
Hope is closer than you think
It caught me unaware
It was just round the corner
Hope is closer than you think
It caught me unprepared
As if out of nowhere
