lyrics

She’s a wandering soul
Never out, never home
And her feet, they never stay still
And she wonders sometimes
Why she feels so alone
Why her cup, it never stays full

They said girl, get a job
Get some cash, fill the shelf
With the things you want for yourself
‘Cause this world's a cruel world
What you want you must take
And that cup won't fill itself

And the days turned to weeks
And the weeks into years
And she still couldn't see through the tears
And she cried in the night
What am I doing here?
Oh God, what am I doing here?

Then one cold, sleepless night
There an angel appeared
His words, like a song to her ears
He said search deep inside
Past the pain, past the fear
And you will see it's no mistake
That you were put here

There's a light and it comes
From the depths of her soul
And she carries it wherever she goes
It's a light that the world
Needs so desperately to know
It's a light that we call hope

For the first time she watched
The sunrise and she smiled
As the dark went back to the sea
And she'd take that light
To the ends of the earth
And you will see

That there's a light and it comes
From the depths of her soul
And she carries it wherever she goes
It's a light that the world
Needs so desperately to know
It's a light that we call hope
A light that we call hope
It’s a light that we call hope
