Lyrics Hoping Against Hope - Tom McRae & The Standing Band

Hoping against hope
In the photograph I see the spark
Long gone now, an echo of fire
It's time to face the fact
There's no second act
We're down with the dead now
Forgotten and cold
But whiles I'm still captain
Of this sinking ship
We're gonna go down, boys
With a song on our lips
Yeah, we're hoping against hope
Yeah, we're hoping against hope
Look me in the eye
Tell me there's still time
I just want to hear that
Pretty white lie
Come on Lazarus child
Raise yourself a smile
You got what we all want
A comeback with style
So join me on deck boys
It's a beautiful storm
We'll dance in the lightning
Till all hope is gone
Yeah, we're hoping against hope
Yeah, we're hoping against hope
Lalalalala lalalala lalalalala
It's gonna be okay
Come on my lover, my sisters and brothers
Stand here beside me, sing out the lie
It's gonna be okay
It's gonna be okay
Such a pretty white lie. A beautiful lie.
