The Song of Good Hope Lyrics

If we're gonna make it
'Cross this river alive
We need to think like a boat
And go with the tide

And I know where you've been
It's really left you in doubt
Of ever finding a harbor
Of figuring this out

And you're gonna need
All the help you can get
So lift up your arms now
And reach for it
And reach for it

[Hook]
And take your time babe
It's not as bad as it seems, you'll be fine babe
It's just some rivers and streams in between
You and where you wanna be
And watch the signs now
You'll know what they mean, you'll be fine now
Just stay close to me and may good hope
Walk with you through everything
[Hook]

May the song of good hope
Walk with you through everything
