Song About Hope

Verse 1:
I watched strangers send their kid
On the bus for the first time
From my car window
Almost felt like the kid was mine
Red Rock Canyon is the nicest place I've ever seen
I really think you'd like it
Kinda feels like a dream

Chorus:
The swallow sings a song of hope he says
"Do you know what the light can be?"
And I got this new love
He plucks the right chords in me
The world is hurting and so am I
But I've got these reasons to get by

Verse 2:
I missed this year's fireworks
On the Fourth of July
But you know that's OK
Another year will come by
I got high one day by the stream
With my friends
We made a boat from leaves
Sent it away to pretend
It would sail
Forever

Chorus:
And the swallow sings a song of hope he says
"Do you know what the light can be?"
And I got this new love
He plucks the right chords in me
The world is hurting and so am I
But I've got these reasons to get by

Verse 3:
There's string quartets and autumn leaves
Fireflies in summer too
But above all
One thing I got is you

Outro:
And now I sing a song of hope I say
"I know what the light can be"
And I got this new love
He plucks the right chords in me
The world is hurting and so am I
But I've got these reasons to get by
