HER HOPE
BENN CUTARELLI, DAN ROBINSON

VERSE
HER SON WALKS ACROSS THE STAGE SO CONFIDENT
LOOKS TO THE SKY SAID I KEPT MY PROMISE
HOW DO I LOOK IN A CAP AND GOWN?
HE LOOKS OVER AT HIS DAD WHO GIVES A FIST PUMP
BOTH KNEW LAST YEAR LIFE HIT A SPEED BUMP
BUT OH HOW HE’S TURNED IT AROUND
HE DIDN’T LET HIS MOTHER DOWN

CHORUS
HER HOPE
WAS HER SON WOULD ATTEND THE ACADEMY
HER HOPE
WAS HE’D GET HIS DEGREE
OH… THAT WAS HER HOPE

VERSE
HER DAUGHTER LOOKS BEAUTIFUL IN HER MOTHER’S DRESS WALKIN’ DOWN THE AISLE
FLASHIN’ THAT BIG SMILE
PUTS HER ARMS AROUND HER DAD, THEY EMBRACE
THEY HAVEN’T ALWAYS SEEN EYE TO EYE
BUT THIS YEAR THEY’VE MOVED THRU THE HARD TIMES
NOW THEY’VE ARRIVED AT A BETTER PLACE
IT’S LIKE LOOKIN’ IN HER MOTHER’S FACE

CHORUS
HER HOPE
WAS HER DAUGHTER WOULD GROW TO BE HAPPY
HER HOPE
WAS SHE’D RAISE A FAMILY
OH… THAT WAS HER HOPE

BRIDGE
SHE WAS MY BEST FRIEND, ALWAYS HAD A KIND WORD TO SAY
THE FAMILY AND I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE TODAY
YOUR DONATIONS WILL HELP FAMILIES COPE WITH THE TRAUMA AND THE LOSS
AND SUPPORT HER HOPE

CHORUS
HER HOPE
WAS NO ONE ELSE EVER SUFFERS LIKE THIS
HER HOPE
WAS NO ONE MISS THOSE MOMENTS WITH THEIR KIDS
OH…THAT WAS HER HOPE
