Hope Is Not Gone

Lyrics

[Verse 1] From the very first breath I held you near, A tiny hand that calmed my every fear. I felt your soul, so gentle and so bright, And made a promise I would guard your light. Oh how my heart melted, warm and whole, The moment that I touched your beautiful soul. [Chorus] Hold on, hold on, hope is not gone, I feel you in my heart when nights grow long. I will keep fighting, I'll never let go, Keep being you, my darling, home you'll go. [Verse 2] They took you far from all that you have known, A broken promise, a heart turned to stone. But even through the storm that pulled us apart, Mackenzie, you are living in my heart. I dream of you nightly, I see you around, In every whisper, in every soft sound. [Chorus] Hold on, hold on, hope is not gone, I feel you in my heart when nights grow long. I will keep fighting, I'll never let go, Keep being you, my darling, home you'll go. [Bridge] Though the miles may stretch and the days feel unkind, You're never a stranger, you're always on my mind. Mackenzie, be brave, let your little light shine. [Verse 3] So keep on hoping, the dawn is drawing near, The love between us conquers every tear. Wherever you wander, whatever you face, You carry my arms in a warm embrace. Soon these open doors will welcome you home, And you'll never, my sweet girl, be alone. [Chorus] Hold on, hold on, hope is not gone, I feel you in my soul when nights grow long. I will keep fighting, I'll never let go, Keep being you, Mackenzie, home you'll go. [Outro] Hold on, hold on, hope is not gone, I'll be right beside you till you're home.
