Maybe There's Hope

As I'm looking off into the distance
It hits me

Maybe there's hope

I've been running since I had legs
My heart's been pounding since it formed in my ragged chest
I've been fighting since I saw the world
I've been surviving instead of living

Never thought I'd grow older than fourteen

That was the plan
That was the future
That was the ending

But it all changed
I'm living in a present I wasn't gonna see
I'm seeing a future I wasn't gonna see

Can I learn how to live?
I've been surviving all my life

Maybe there's hope
I've never had this feeling

I'm planning a future
Writing down constellations
Mapping out the roads to take
Thinking of destinations

It's unfamiliar and strange

The kid with calloused feet, scarred fists and kick drum heart
That kid is growing up
That kid didn't die on the edge
Like so many others

Maybe there's hope
Even if it's a small spark
Even if it can barely stand the wind

Maybe there's hope for the hopeless kids
Somewhere anywhere
Maybe there's hope
For me

Hello
Hello

Tear me down
Just light me up and let my skin burn up

I have escaped
The glass jar that held me captive is shattered

Did you ever love me?
They all say you still do

Is this how to be alive?
