The Milk Carton Kids - Hope of a Lifetime lyrics
[The Milk Carton Kids - Hope of a Lifetime lyrics]
There's a light that's shining now
And a calm wind in the pine
For the fate of a fearsome travesty
Seems to have forgotten me
Seems to have forgotten me
If it hasn't learned by now
Where I've hid so very long
I'll come safely out into the silence found
In the wake of it's passing on
In the wake of it's passing on
A Spartan smile and westward stare hold
A promise in the air
That's the way they used to
Find their own way home
By the stars, on their own
By the stars, on their own
While I pray for Promised Land
To replace all I have made
Darkness steals the light I bear
And the hope of a lifetime fades
The hope of a lifetime fades
In the newfound reverie
Of quiet peace I found
Freedom comes from being unafraid
Of the heartache that can plague a man
The heartache that can plague a man
A Spartan smile and westward stare hold
A promise in the air
That's the way they used to
Find their own way home
By the stars, on their own
By the stars, on their own
And a calm wind in the pine
For the fate of a fearsome travesty
Seems to have forgotten me
Seems to have forgotten me
If it hasn't learned by now
Where I've hid so very long
I'll come safely out into the silence found
In the wake of it's passing on
In the wake of it's passing on
A Spartan smile and westward stare hold
A promise in the air
That's the way they used to
Find their own way home
By the stars, on their own
By the stars, on their own
While I pray for Promised Land
To replace all I have made
Darkness steals the light I bear
And the hope of a lifetime fades
The hope of a lifetime fades
In the newfound reverie
Of quiet peace I found
Freedom comes from being unafraid
Of the heartache that can plague a man
The heartache that can plague a man
A Spartan smile and westward stare hold
A promise in the air
That's the way they used to
Find their own way home
By the stars, on their own
By the stars, on their own
