Hope Is Contagious

Don't you surrender now so easily
I think what you're looking for is what you will see
Some see the end and some see opportunity
Deep in my soul, I'm a believer
But they're waiting for something inside them to stir
And hope spreads like a virus - haven't you heard

Let's not let history say we're heartless
We look to those who lead the fight
There are some wandering in the darkness
Looking for just a flash of light

Hope is contagious
When the hill we have to climb is outrageous
When the fire that's surrounding us rages
Know there are heroes there
Don't forget to look at their faces
Our loved ones locked up in sterile cages
Which of us will show we're courageous?
Only the heroes dare
We're writing a story for the ages
Let's show them hope is contagious

I know you're scared; I know you're lonely
And the bigger picture can be vexing to see
But a little faith goes a long way - don't you agree?

Let's not let history say we're heartless
Take care of those who lead the fight
They walk undaunted toward the darkness
A single candle burning bright

Yeah, hope is contagious
When the hill we have to climb is outrageous
When the fire that's surrounding us rages
Know there are heroes there
Don't forget to look at their faces
Our loved ones locked up in sterile cages
Which of us will show we're courageous
Only the heroes dare
We're writing a story for the ages
Let's show them hope is contagious
