I'm waking up with hope inside of me, 
And I'll be home, 
You're not alone. 
But now I only lie awake at night 
To keep my nerve; 
To keep us whole. 

Well it's been so long,
And I've been waiting for this [bad word]  
And I knew eventually you [bad word]  
But I'll be close behind, 
Won't let you out of my sight. 
I've weathered the storm and stuck out through the fall. 
You say you want more? 
Well I've got it all, 
But you're still so blind to see. 

Here I'll always be ready to save you from your nightmares. 
I'll keep you safe from harm, but only if you let me.

I'm waking up with hope inside of me
And I'll be home, 
You're not alone. 
And now I only lie awake at night
To keep my nerve, 
To keep us whole. 

 [bad word] too far to go astray. 
When all hope is lost I'll lead the way. 
You've shared this love and felt this pain, 
But have you lost all faith? 
Dreaming always makes a man wish he had something more.

I'm waking up with hope inside of me.
And I'll be home, 
You're not alone. 
And now I only lie awake at night to keep my nerve,
To keep us whole. 
And if this feeling won't go away, 
Well then I guess you don't have to stay. 
Just as long as you'll be okay, 
Well I still carry this hope inside of me.

Take my picture 
To always keep with you. 
Just hold the memories close and I'll guide you home 
To where we belong.

I'm waking up with hope inside of me.
And I'll be home, 
You're not alone. 
And now I only lie awake at night to keep my nerve,
To keep us whole. 
And if this feeling won't go away, 
Well then I guess you don't have to stay. 
Just as long as you'll be okay, 
Well I still carry this hope inside of me.
