Hope Hill
Come take me home
I've been so lost
so turned inward
solace never came forward
and I have looked for you
in every turn
I thought about sending postcards
but I feared they would be returned
so sweet surrender come visit my heart
open me up...let me find my spot
and I dreamt one day
you would come to take me away
and I prayed a constant prayer
but around every corner
you never was there
so I waited upon Hope Hill
and a voice came so near
could it be you?
could a dream so far fetched ever come true?
Come take me home
make my heart go boom
I have stayed in silence
and long to be through
I wish I could turn
water into wine
and have you holding
this lonely hand of mine
and I have looked for you
around every street corner
I thought about sending a letter
but it seemed so impersonal
so I thought better
so sweet surrender come take my heart
open me up....find your spot
and I dreamt one day
you would come to take me away
and I prayed a constant prayer
but around every corner
you never was there
so I waited upon Hope Hill
and a voice came so near
could it be you?
could a dream so far fetched ever come true?
It took one moment
and all I heard was...
I am here to take you home
and there was my answer
long last...I finally felt
sweet relief...overdue content
exactly what a real smile meant
