From the recording Hope Floats
An original song of hope and comfort inspired by the events of the 2022 floods in Southeast Queensland and Northern New South Wales.
Lyrics
I know you're weary from worry You're worn to the bone Keeping your family from harm
But deep down inside you
Burns a flickering hope
For the child fast asleep in your arms
You sing 'darling don't cry
Those who love you are kind
We won't let the darkness take hold
The moon's overhead And the angels have said To hold on to hope
Hope floats'
When it feels like the weight of the world's On your chest
It's heavy and laden with dread
Take heed of the small voice That whispers inside
A promise of blue skies ahead
It sings 'darling don't cry
Those who love you are kind
We won't let the darkness take hold
The moon's overhead And the angels have said To hold on to hope
Hope floats'
I know the wind has been torn from your sails You're battered
You're bruised
And you're aching
Come lay your head on my shoulder to rest There's plenty of love for the taking
So come take it
Sometimes a small step
Is all that it takes
Just one foot in front of the game
Your head above water
Your heart in the clouds
Rise up like a flickering flame
And sing 'darling don't cry
Those who love you are kind
We won't let the darkness take hold
The moon's overhead And the angels have said To hold on to hope
Hope floats
