I'll Be Hope for Christmas

What if it were true for you & me

That we're holding a piece

Of the hope someone's missin'?

Would we hand it over this instant? Yeah, yeah

And what if it was you?

What if it was me, that suddenly, had to put hope on our wish list

Could happen to us all

So say I'll be hope for Christmas

Can you imagine

Little kids not having

Gifts to unwrap when

They wake up on Christmas morning

Or their moms and dads with

The weight of it happening

So afraid of unraveling

Feelin' drained and backed in a corner

Made a choice to keep the lights on

'Stead of buying new toys or bikes to ride on

It's tough to cope once the smile's gone

So give hope, it's what you can't put a price on

What if it were true for you & me

That we're holding a piece

Of the hope someone's missin'?

Would we hand it over this instant? Yeah, yeah

And what if it was you?

What if it was me, that suddenly, had to put hope on our wish list

Could happen to us all

So say I'll be hope for Christmas

Can you imagine

If your life just came crashin'

Right down in a flash with

Nothing you've done to deserve it

And everything you had is

Ripped away from your grasp it's

Like you're drowning or gasping for air

But it's hope you're in search of

Made to suffer this time of year is extra cruel

'Stead of a string of bad luck, ya got the whole spool

If you're in need of the only gift that could get you through

Wouldn't you want someone reaching out to you?

What if it were true for you & me

That we're holding a piece

Of the hope someone's missin'?

Would we hand it over this instant? Yeah, yeah

And what if it was you?

What if it was me, that suddenly, had to put hope on our wish list

Could happen to us all

So say I'll be hope for Christmas
