Verse 1:
Looking at the world there seems little reason
For optimism for the inmates of this prison of a planet
Warplanes in the sky, holes in the ozone
They're working on the first clone
Of a brave new world and the cyborgs that will man it
There's only one thing that keeps me believing
That the world in which I'm living will still be here
In a hundred years

Chorus:
You are the reason for the hope that burns inside me
The light that's sent to guide me
Give me strength when I can no longer cope
You are the reason I don't give way to despairing
Your promise of returning
My reason to hope

Verse 2:
Fear like a blanket shrouds the nations
Waiting for the revelation of the ones
Who're threatening to enslave us.
As the global entity takes over
I'm running for the cover
Of the promise Lord that You will come and save us
There's only one thing
That gives me the incentive
To hold on through the ending
And that's the fact that You'll soon be coming back

Chorus:
You are the reason for the hope that burns inside me
The light that's sent to guide me
Give me strength when I can no longer cope
You are the reason I don't give way to despairing
Your promise of returning
(Ohhhhh)
My reason to hope

Bridge:
When the senseless world gives me no other choice
I will lift my eyes, see redemption coming
(I lift my eyes, see it coming)
In the hour of darkness You'll make me rejoice
(rejoice)
Yeah, yeah
Reason to hope

Chorus:
You are the reason for the hope that burns inside me
The light that's sent to guide me
Give me strength when I can no longer cope
You are the reason I don't give way to despairing
Your promise of returning
My reason to hope
You are the reason for the hope that burns inside me
The light that's sent to guide me
Give me strength when I can no longer cope
You are the reason I don't give way to despairing
Your promise of returning
My reason to hope
You are the reason, You are the reason
(Reason to hope)
You are the hope that burns inside me
(My reason to hope)
You are the reason I don't give way to despairing
(Reason to hope)
Your promise of returning
My reason to hope
Hey yeah
Hey yeah
Ohhh
