Lyrics

Some hope for the fu ture,

some wait for the call

to say that the days a head will be the best of all.

We will build bridg es

up to the sky.

(Bb7)Heav en ly light sur round ing you

and I.

From out of the dark ness

our fu ture will come.

If we leave the past be hind, we’ll fly be yond the sun.

We’ll be to geth er,

shar ing the load,

(Bb7)watch ing in won der as our lives

un fold.

(Am)Hope for the fu ture,

it’s com ing soon e nough.

(Am)How much can we a chieve?

(Am)Hope for the fu ture,

it will be long to us if we be lieve,

if we be lieve.

(C)Hope shines bright est (G)in the dark

where (F)noth ing’s ev er seen,

light ing un dis cov ered plac es (F)no one’s ev er been.

(C)Hope shines bright est (G)in the dark

where (F)noth ing’s ev er seen,

light ing un dis cov ered plac es (F)no one’s ev er been.

(Am)Hope for the fu ture, (Ab)hope for the fu ture, (Fm)hope for the fu ture, (C)ooh.
