Louisa May Alcott — Do you hope for this?

[Verse 1] I would go back to sleep in a moment I would live colorblind I would never wish to be broken By the world that holds us tight [Pre-Chorus] We climbed till we touched the sky We reached till we hit heaven But you can't stay suspended off the earth We held on to red geraniums Stuck onto the resin The sap always dries for what it's worth [Chorus] When you hope for life do you hope for this? When you hope for anything do you hope for this? When you see the light do you search for this? Do you hope for this? Do you hope for this? When you reach the night do you hope for this? If you know its right do you hope for this? When you dream of anything do you dream of this? Do you hope for this? Do you hope for this? [Verse 2] But they always move through your castle And their steps beat the walls down A woman, a dog, a man, a battle Some tears, some soup, and a crown [Pre-Chorus] We didn't see the marble warp Until the divots deepened We didn't hear the rumble till it crashed And suddenly the sky had slowly faded different colors Their skin, the only divide from the black [Chorus] When you hope for life do you hope for this? When you hope for anything do you hope for this? When you see the light do you search for this? Do you hope for this? Do you hope for this? When you reach the night do you hope for this? If you know its right do you hope for this? When you dream of anything do you dream of this? Do you hope for this? Do you hope for this? [Bridge] Do you hope for times When we stand aligned And there are no stars that sync out of line Do you hope for days When they come out raised And there is no place where the sun will set [Chorus] When you hope for life do you hope for this? When you hope for​ anything do you hope for this? When you see the light do you search for this? Do you hope for this? Do you hope for this? When you reach the night do you hope for this? If you know its right do you hope for this? When you dream of anything do you dream of this? Do you hope for this? Do you hope for this? [Outro] I will listen for its call till the mountains echo with silence I will listen for its call till the mountains echo with silence I will listen for its call till the mountains echo with silence I will listen for its​ call till the mountains echo with silence
