I still remember the taste of my tears
|
The day I watched you drift away
|
And I remember before you disappeared
|
I started hoping for the day
|
|
When I'd see your face
|
And look in your eyes
|
Feel your embrace
|
And we'd never say goodbye
|
|
I can hear it in the baby's cry
|
In a mother's lullaby
|
Every time the morning sky
|
Begins to glow
|
|
I can feel it pounding deep inside
|
It's keeping faith alive
|
And I will not let it die
|
The heartbeat of hope
|
|
I am learning, I'm learning as I go
|
Just how thankful hope can be
|
The ache of yearning can never let you go
|
It has become a part of me
|
|
But pure are the longings
|
Holding on and holding out
|
I'll keep holding to the one thing
|
I know I can not live without
|
|
I can hear it in the baby's cry
|
In a mother's lullaby
|
And every time the morning sky
|
Begins to glow
|
|
I can feel it pounding deep inside
|
It's keeping faith alive
|
And I will not let it die because it's more
|
Than something I believe in
|
|
It's a song that makes me dance
|
When my feet refuse to move
|
It's the wind that bumps the water
|
That I can not get through
|
|
I can hear it in the baby's cry
|
In a mother's lullaby
|
And every time the morning sky
|
Begins to glow
|
|
I can feel it pounding deep inside
|
It's keeping faith alive
|
And I will not let it die
|
The heartbeat of hope
|
|
I will not let it die
|
The heartbeat of hope
|
I will not let it die
|
It's keeping faith alive
|
It's the heartbeat of hope
|
|
Keep it alive
|
The heartbeat of hope
|
I will not let it die
|
No, I will not let it die
|
|
Keep it alive
|
Keep alive
|
The heartbeat of hope
|
