30. only hope

in the universe of lyrics, not many can match the beauty of this song:


There's a song that's inside of my soul
It's the one that I've tried to write
Over and over again
I'm awake and in the infinite cold
But You sing to me over and over and
Over again

So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands
And pray to be only Yours
I pray to be only Yours
I know now You're my only hope
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/s/switchfoot/only_hope.html ]
Sing to me of the song of the stars
Of Your galaxy dancing and laughing
And laughing again
When it feels like my dreams are so far
Sing to me of the plans that You have
For me over again

So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands
And pray to be only Yours
I pray to be only Yours
I know now You're my only hope

I give You my apathy
I'm giving You all of me
I want Your symphony
Singing in all that I am
At the top of my lungs I'm giving it back

So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands
And pray to be only Yours
I pray to be only Yours
I know now You're my only hope

its repetition of words on certain lines, i find so hypnotic. this song played on my player as i was going home from work OT this evening, and in the middle of it, the rain pelted down in strong gusts and drenched pasay. 


it was powerful and fitting at the same time.
