Hoping you take that jump But don't fear the fall Hope when the water rises You built a wall Hoping the crowd screams out Screaming your name Hope if everybody runs You choose to stay Hope that you fall in love And it hurts so bad The only way you can know Is give it all you have And I hope that you don't suffer But take the pain Hope when the moment comes you say I, I did it all I, I did it all I owned every second That this world could give I saw so many places The things that I did With every broken bone I swear I lived Hope that you spend your days But they all add up And when that sun goes down Hope you raise your cup I wish that I could witness All your joy and all your pain But until my moment comes I'll say I, I did it all I, I did it all I owned every second That this world could give I saw so many places And things that I did With every broken bone I swear I lived With every broken bone I swear I lived With every broken bone I swear I lived I, I did it all I, I did it all I owned every second That this world could give I saw so many places And things that I did girl With every broken bone I swear I lived
