So this is how it feels when standin' strong Turns into barely even holdin' on The plans you had are shattered on the floor And your fear tells your faith, there's no use in prayin' Those prayers anymore When your world is crashin', when your knees hit the ground When your heart is askin', "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 breakin' through the darkest night Like a whisper sayin', "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-yous and don't-know-whys 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 rollin' stones away When your world is crashin', when your knees hit the ground When your heart is askin', "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 breakin' through the darkest night Like a whisper sayin', "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 crashin', when your knees hit the ground When your heart is askin', "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 breakin' through the darkest night Like a whisper sayin', "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
