Yes I swear bravery and strength go with her name, ooh
And she said all she had was the cross around her neck to keep her warm, ooh
I still remember how you tried hold these walls through perfect storms
Ohh, you lost so many homes
You said hold on everything will be okay
I've been confused, why can't we just run away?

Was it hope that kept you alive through the years and
Should I even call it living?

I've been dreaming that I found you staying in the sea
Then you told me that's where you've been
You said that the water's cold but still warmer than your skin
I tried to help you but the closer I got, the further you walked away...away

Was it hope that kept you alive through the years and
Should I even call it living?
