this hallway’s dark and empty just miles and miles of endless road I’ve got a sickness pounding in my head I’m at the mercy of the ghosts But what it would take to live As if I would not another day To live without despair And to be without another desdain CHORUS: How can I instill such hope But be left with none of my own? what if I could sing Just one song And it might save somebody’s life I sought after after reasons to stay i was lost i was lost Then the sky turned black And the rains poured down I was waiting waiting to be found oh no Chorus: How can I instill such hope But be left with none of my own? what if I could sing Just one song And it might save somebody’s life then I would sing All that I can sing Because that is when When I feel that I’m not counting time Oh and I sing All that I can sing Maybe just for the moment Things would seem all right Oh and I sing Oh and I sing Oh and I sing Oh and I sing
