The distant trees are crowding in the valleys Their shadows a blackened barcode against the skies The giant limbs are swaying and calling me to climb I just can't seem to reach no matter how hard I try Hope Now in my dream I'm swimming toward the shoreline The distant forest hoving into sight I kick against the breakers and I plow against the tide I just can't seem to reach no matter how hard I try Hope Morning comes I'm watching you in slumber I somehow see the little girl inside As if you feel me watching you wake and flash that smile I could never leave no matter how hard I try Hope
