Text: Ilse DeLange. Carry Hope.

The power is in your hands, the dust will fall to sand
Gotta make this land your own
Must feel free to fall, trust will catch us all
Faith calls out your name

When I let go of hope, there's no one left to follow
There's nothing but the power to believe in me
I reach for what I know, when I can't see tomorrow
I carry hope

There is no security in all it is we see
Tomorrow is your hope

When I let go of hope and there's no one left to follow
There's nothing but the power to believe in me
I reach for what I know, when I can't see tomorrow
I carry hope

The wind carries the past, it whispers loud and fast
From days now gone, they never left
I feel inside of me, it's lifting me out of sorrow
This energy's filling me up

(My head held high)
Lift me up, lift me up, lift me up
Lift me up, lift me up
(My head held high)
Lift me up, lift me up, lift me up
Lift me up, lift me up

When I let go of hope, there's no one left to follow
There's nothing but the power to believe in me
I reach for what I know, when I cannot see tomorrow
I carry hope
