Am C
1. It's empty in the valley of your heart
Am C
The sun, it rises slowly as you walk
Am
Away from all the fears
C G C
And all the faults you've left behind
2. The harvest left no food for you to eat
You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see
But I have seen the same
I know the shame in your defeat
C F C
R: But I will hold on hope
C F C
And I won't let you choke
F C G
On the noose around your neck
Am F C
And I'll find strength in pain
Am F C
And I will change my ways
F C G
I'll know my name as it's called again
3. Cause I have other things to fill my time
You take what is yours and I'll take mine
Now let me at the truth
Which will refresh my broken mind
4. So tie me to a post and block my ears
I can see widows and orphans through my tears
I know my call despite my faults
And despite my growing fears
R: But I will hold on hope...
And I'll find strength in pain...
5. So come out of your cave walking on your hands
And see the world hanging upside down
You can understand dependence
When you know the maker's hand
R: So make your siren's call
And sing all you want
I will not hear what you have to say
Cause I need freedom now
And I need to know how
To live my life as it's meant to be
R: But I will hold on hope...
And I'll find strength in pain...
