The Music - Symbol Of Hope

Track 2 from the "Strength In Numbers" CD single

LYRICS:

The desperation aching in my bones
Is like the fire that burns in you
I lie awake just to think of a reason
A simple plan to help me through

When I was down, I could see no future
But as I lift my head, I see
A nature has no way of knowing
What I've done or where I've been

Yeah, I could love you
Hell, I could love you
But that is not what I live for
I lie awake just to think of a reason
You feed my soul up, you keep my song alive

My head is heavy, but still I stay strong
It's never easy digging earth
Before the eye knows what did we seek
The principles that get me through it

With every breath I pull into my lungs
Inspires me to open up
The dusk is evil, the battle in my mind
I turn to glass with every touch

Yeah, I could love you
Hell, I could love you
But that is not what I live for
I lie awake just to think of a reason
You feed my soul up, you keep my song alive

Yeah, I could love you
Hell, I could love you
But that is not what I live for
I lie awake just to think of a reason
You feed my soul up, you keep my song alive

It hits home like a symbol of hope
I turn around, but you're not there
The beat is in me and now I surrender
You feed my soul up, you keep my song alive!

Yeah, I could love you
Hell, I could love you
But that is not what I live for
I lie awake just to think of a reason
You feed my soul up, you keep my song alive

Yeah, I could love you
Hell, I could love you
But that is not what I live for
I lie awake just to think of a reason
You feed my soul up

A symbol of hope
A symbol of hope is
A symbol of hope
A symbol of hope is

Yeah, I could love you
Hell, I could love you
But that is not what I live for
I lie awake just to think of a reason
You feed my soul up, you keep my song alive

Yeah, I could love you
Hell, I could love you
But that is not what I live for
I lie awake just to think of a reason
You feed my soul up, you keep my song alive

You keep my song alive

The desperation, aching in my bones
It's like the fire that burns in you
I lie awake just to think of a reason
A simple plan to help me through

When I was down, I could see no future
But as I lift my head, I see
A nature has no way of knowing
What I've done or where I've been.

Yeah, I could love you
Hell, I could love you
But that is not what I live for
I lie awake just to think of a reason
You feed my soul up, you keep my song alive

My head is heavy, but still I stay strong
It's never easy digging earth
Before the eye knows what did we seek
The principles that get me through

With every breath I pull into my lungs
Inspires me to open up
The dust is evil, the battle in my mind
I turn to glass with every touch

Yeah, I could love you
Hell, I could love you
But that is not what I live for
I lie awake just to think of a reason
You feed my soul up, you keep my song alive

Yeah, I could love you
Hell, I could love you
But that is not what I live for
I lie awake just to think of a reason
You feed my soul up, you keep my song alive

Into its home, like a symbol of hope
I turn around, but you are not there
The beat is in me and now I surrender
You feed my soul up, you keep my song alive

Yeah, I could love you
Hell, I could love you
But that is not what I live for
I lie awake just to think of a reason
You feed my soul up, you keep my song alive

Yeah, I could love you
Hell, I could love you
But that is not what I live for
I lie awake just to think of a reason
You feed my soul up, a symbol of hope

[Repeated]
A symbol of hope is
A symbol of hope

Yeah, I could love you
Hell, I could love you
But that is not what I live for
I lie awake just to think of a reason
You feed my soul up, you keep my song alive

Yeah, I could love you
Hell, I could love you
But that is not what I live for
I lie awake just to think of a reason
You feed my soul up, you keep my song alive

You keep my song alive
