Why do we sit?
Why do we bend, when we should quit?

That one inch of hope.
That we all have deep inside.
Keeps us going everyday.
Keeps us feeling alive.

When you're about to go off the deep end.
Why do you hold on?
Whats clutching your soul?
Making you hold strong.

Even when you've lost it all.
You stand tall.
When you can barely crawl.

That feeling, that theres something else out there, something more than cheap thrills.
That hope, so precious it kills.

When all you can give are tears.
Why do you give all you have?

When life keeps gifting you with sorrow.
That one inch of hope.
Makes you hang on for tomorrow.

When pain fills your very being.
Hold on, for hope will be your healing.

Why do we stand?
