Lyrics

HOPE STILL LIVES
Written by Keena Turner West & Kevin Pauls
C. 2021

I’ve been lied to, cheated, broken, mistreated
It nearly took me out…That’s a fact…
I’ve been shattered, busted…by folks I trusted
But I know you know someone like that

I’ve been stripped of everything I thought was sacred
And Rock bottoms not the worst place to be, cause…

You never promised… that this wouldn’t come with scars
…But you promised to give me all you are… (last time - KEY change)
YOU NEVER SAID IT WOULD BE EASY
LIFE TAKES & IT GIVES
BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY…
HOPE STILL LIVES

Lord I’m wounded, But healing
Oh & I’m still breathing
I’m standing here not afraid to dream
Though the futures uncertain
I trust you even when I’m hurting
Cause you said, your in this with me…

I don’t have to understand you… to believe you
But faiths a risk I’m willing to take

And surrender’s looking different
From the ashes where I stand…
My life has been rewritten
And I leave it in your hands…
