So this is how it feels when standing strong Turns into barely even holding on The plans you had are shattered on the floor And your fear tells your faith, There's no use in praying those prayers anymore When your world is crashing, when your knees hit the ground When your heart is asking, "What do I do now?" Just when you think it can't get worse Hold on, that's when hope returns Like a new sun breaking through the darkest night Like a whisper saying, "It'll be alright" I know you're tired, I know it hurts But hold on, that's when hope returns And that's when hope returns I know it's hard to see the other side Through all the where are you's and don't know why's And I know it looks like hope is in the grave But He's still on the throne, so be still and know That He's still rolling stones away When your world is crashing, when your knees hit the ground When your heart is asking, "What do I do now?" Just when you think it can't get worse Hold on, that's when hope returns Like a new sun breaking through the darkest night Like a whisper saying, "It'll be alright" I know you're tired, I know it hurts But hold on, that's when hope returns (Yeah) Hold on, 'cause hope returns When your world is crashing, when your knees hit the ground When your heart is asking, "What do I do now?" Just when you think it can't get worse Hold on, that's when hope returns Like a new sun breaking through the darkest night Like a whisper saying, "It's gonna be alright" I know you're tired, I know it hurts But hold on, that's when hope returns That's when hope returns Hope returns
