The Etude Ensemble - Brightness of Hope Lyrics

Walking through the shadows of this endless night
Searching for a beacon, a sliver of light
The echoes of my footsteps fade into the air
I'm reaching out for something, is anybody there?
The weight upon my shoulders, too heavy to bear
I'm calling out into the void, is someone aware?
Hope, can you see me?
I know you're there
I know you care
Hope, can you feel me?
I know you're out there
I'm blinded by despair
I need your brightness of hope
Faces in the crowd, but I'm still alone
Lost within the maze I've built of stone
Every path I take just leads me back again
Circles turning into lines that never end
I'm standing at the crossroads, looking for a sign
A whisper or a touch to ease my troubled mind
Hope, can you see me?
I know you're there
I know you care
Hope, can you feel me?
I know you're out there
I'm blinded by despair
I need your brightness of hope
In the silence, I hear a distant melody
A song of reassurance calling out to me
Maybe hope has been here, waiting all along
Maybe in my weakness, I can still be strong
Hope, now I see you
You're everywhere
You always cared
Hope, now I feel you
No longer out there
You've lifted my despair
I found the brightness of hope
Walking from the shadows into the light
Carrying your flame into the night
