I've got so much love to give
But no place for it to go
Somebody needs to take it
Before it overflows
Like the sadness slowly
Creeping up its way into my heart
It is old
And meant to last

But I kept my hope alive
I kept my hope alive
I'll always be on my side
But I kept my hope alive
I kept my hope alive
And that's how I learned to fly

Tears at the airport
And your photos on my phone
Your favourite songs in my headphones
And your souvenirs in my carry-on
The old man in the middle seat
Smiles knowingly at me
He's been there
And played the part

But I kept my hope alive
I kept my hope alive
I'll always be on my side
But I kept my hope alive
I kept my hope alive
And that's how I learned to fly

If I stand the test of time
One day, I will be fine
All I've been chasing is mine
If you will, take this as your sign

But I kept my hope alive
I kept my hope alive
I'll always be on my side
But I kept my hope alive
I kept my hope alive
And that's how I learned to fly

I've got so much love to give
I've got so much love to give
I've got so much love to give
I've got so much love to give
