Baby, it's been a long year Flowers fading in the window and I'm still here Lately, I lost my courage I'm just a speck in the ocean, a leaf in the forest So why then all this fear? You've got to have faith in the small things I don't know much, but I know that pity is a sick thing I saw my brother, and I was hiding in the mountains How quickly we forget the beauty that surrounds us All these strangers passing by me But we choose not to see Yeah we choose not to see (I wanna be) Oh, we choose not to see There is always hope There is always hope And there is always hope (I wanna be) And there is always hope (I wanna be) And there is always hope (I wanna be) And there is always hope (I wanna be) And there is always hope (I wanna be) A swinger in the trees
