Oh, is it upsetting,
Chasing a dream divine?
Is it wasted time that I've spent,
Chasing accomplishments?
Oh, we don't know what it is,
But we figure it's worth it
People,
We are reaching out,
We are stretching out,
We are dying for it
Hope is all that we'll ever need,
When the things we want,
They keep drifting from us
Oh
Is it how it's meant to be,
Life in front of me?
If what we hold most dear
Didn't last through the year,
Can you tell me, is it still worth it?
Oh oh oh
Oh, People,
We are reaching out,
We are stretching out,
We are dying for it
Hope is all that we'll ever need,
When the things we want,
They keep drifting from us
I, I want to live in such a way,
Where I know nothing can bring me down
Ooh, and you,
You would know me by the way
That I know hope can be found
Oh, People,
We are reaching out,
We are stretching out,
We are dying for it
Hope is all that we'll ever need,
When the things we want,
They keep drifting from us
They keep drifting from us
They keep drifting from us
