Found on Hourglass.

There's a clock timing the world as it turns

There's a man marking the candle as it burns

Keeping track of every minute that remains

Still we hope somehow

It's gonna be alright

It's gonna turn out fine

There's a light shining beyond the southern cross

Burning bright for everyone of us who's lost

More than faith more than a reason to go on

Rise on up knowing

You're gonna win the fight

It's gonna turn out fine

You gotta hope it'll be alright

Come on and hope it'll turn out fine

Yeah, hope it'll be alright, please

When the night turns to the deepest shade of black

At that point there is no reason to turn back

High above angels are falling from the sky

Lift your heart knowing

It's gonna be alright

It's gonna turn out fine

You gotta hope it'll be alright

Come on and hope it'll turn out fine

Yeah, hope it'll be alright, please

You gotta hope, ya gonna win the fight

Come on 'n hope with all your might

Yeah hope it's gonna be alright, please

Millions of people alone in the dark

Awaiting a moment of hope

Please

You gotta hope (Whenever times get tough) it'll be alright

Come on and hope (And when the road is rough) it'll turn out fine

Yeah, hope (Just when you've had enough) it'll be alright, please

You gotta hope (Whenever times get tough) you're gonna win the fight

Come on and hope (And when the road is rough) with all your might

Yeah, hope (Just when you've had enough) it's gonna be alright, please

You gotta hope (Whenever times get tough) it'll be alright

Come on and hope (And when the road is rough) it'll turn out fine

Yeah, hope (Just when you've had enough) it'll be alright, please

You gotta hope, you're gonna win the fight
