lyrics

YOU CAN
Ola Onabule © 2004

Do you hear the thunder, rolling in my head.
I have lost all sense of wonder, hope to me is dead.
Think I’m hearing pain in motion, seeing all of sorrows thought.
In my heart this desperation, just cannot be fought.

Hope sweet hope, don’t desert me now
Tell me that I can, tell me, hold on spirit,
don’t leave courage
Show me just how good it’s about to be
Because you can. Yes you can!

Are you trying to reach me, I’ll stay on the line
Will I learn what you must teach me, before I’m out of time
Make these fires burn rekindled, and this thirst for life revived
From this point of constant trouble, I must survive.

Hope sweet hope, don’t desert me now
Tell me that I can, tell me, hold on spirit,
don’t leave courage
Show me just how good it’s about to be
Because you can!

Way down below, bout as far as you dare to go,
That's where I’m calling out to you,
Praying that you can pull me through to the other side,
I know you’re there, hanging around without a care,
Can you hear me, Hope you can hear me.

Hope sweet hope, don’t desert me now
Tell me that I can, tell me, hold on spirit,
don’t leave courage
Show me just how good it’s about to be
Because you can sweet hope
Don’t desert me please don’t leave my side I said!
