I, Hope
Redemption's Echo: Philip Jonathan's I, Hope Unveiled
Lyrics
I was found by the river of the damned
Found near a cursed river
The waters rising, one more minute till I drowned
Facing imminent drowning as water rises
The hands that laid me, wrapped me tenderly in white
Laid and wrapped in white tenderly
Fingers found me, reaching desperately for life
Fingers desperately reaching for life
Where, where shall I go?
Seeking direction or purpose
Father, where, where shall I go?
Asking father for guidance
I was raised in a foreign family
Raised in an unfamiliar family
The things unknown were my soliloquy
Unknown things became personal reflections
To look beyond and see the things unseen
Seeking to perceive the unseen
But when they heard, oh how they despised me
Despised when others learned
Where, where shall I go?
Continuing the quest for direction
Father, where, where shall I go?
Asking father for continued guidance
And I sung, oh I sung into your soul
Singing into the soul
Into things you didn't know weren't whole
Revealing things not known to be incomplete
When disappointment took your eyes
When disappointment clouded vision
You left me on a rugged tree to die
Left abandoned on a rugged tree to die
Where, where shall I go?
Continuing the search for purpose
Father, where, where shall I go?
Seeking guidance in times of uncertainty
I came back, I came running back
Returning, running back with a purpose
I came to take you home
Intention to take someone home
I came back, I came running back
Repeated intent to bring someone home
I came to take you home
-I came back, I came running back
-I came to take you home
-I came back, I came running back
-I came to take you home
-Where, where shall I go?
Seeking direction or purpose once again
Father, where, where shall I go?
Asking father for continued guidance
