Heartbeat Of Hope

I still remember the taste of my tears

The day I watched you drift away

And I remember before you disappeared

I started hoping for the day

When I'd see your face

And look in your eyes

Feel your embrace

And we'd never say goodbye

I can hear it in the baby's cry

In a mother's lullaby

Every time the morning sky

Begins to glow

I can feel it pounding deep inside

It's keeping faith alive

And I will not let it die

The heartbeat of hope

I am learning, I'm learning as I go

Just how thankful hope can be

The ache of yearning can never let you go

It has become a part of me

But pure are the longings

Holding on and holding out

I'll keep holding to the one thing

I know I can not live without

I can hear it in the baby's cry

In a mother's lullaby

And every time the morning sky

Begins to glow

I can feel it pounding deep inside

It's keeping faith alive

And I will not let it die because it's more

Than something I believe in

It's a song that makes me dance

When my feet refuse to move

It's the wind that bumps the water

That I can not get through

I can hear it in the baby's cry

In a mother's lullaby

And every time the morning sky

Begins to glow

I can feel it pounding deep inside

It's keeping faith alive

And I will not let it die

The heartbeat of hope

I will not let it die

The heartbeat of hope

I will not let it die

It's keeping faith alive

It's the heartbeat of hope

Keep it alive

The heartbeat of hope

I will not let it die

No, I will not let it die

Keep it alive

Keep alive

The heartbeat of hope
