LYRICS:

I’ve been searchin’ for hope
in all the lonely places.
I’ve been told it’s still there,
behind the lonely faces.
And I see traces everywhere.
Floatin’ like dust motes in the air.
Everywhere! Everywhere. Everywhere.

If hope’s the thing with feathers,
feels like it’s flyin away from me.
But I hear those wings beatin,
even when I cannot see.
And I hear feathers everywhere.
Tracin’ their patterns in the air.
Everywhere! Everywhere. Everywhere.
