Song lyrics

Send "Only Hope" ringtones to your cell

There's a song that's inside of my soul 
It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again 
I'm awake in the infinite cold 
But you sing to me over and over and over again 

So I lay my head back down 
And I lift my hands and pray to be only yours 
I pray to be only Yours 
I know now you're my only hope 

Sing to me the song of the stars 
Of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again 
When it feels like my dreams are so far 
Sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again 

And I lay my head back down 
And I lift my hands and pray to be only yours 
I pray to be only yours 
I know now you're my only hope 

I give you my apathy
I'm giving you all of me 
I want your symphony 
Singing in all that I am 
At the top of my lungs I'm giving it back 

And I lay my head back down 
And I lift my hands and pray to be only yours 
I pray to be only yours 
I pray to be only yours 
I know now you're my only hope

1 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I love this song because its more than how the movie "A Walk To Remember" portrayed it... Although it qualifies as a super romantic song for a couple to listen to, it has a deeper sense of romance... The thought that I would not sing a song for the Majesy of majesties, but ask Him to sing a aong about his creation, his galaxies, his stars... to sing a love song to me just totally blows my mind, and to me, is more romantic than any thought of dancing and singing to a girl. Think of that when you hear it next time. This is not only a good song for the one you love, but should be a song to God from all of us. God bless! Thanks Switchfoot! Keep the faith, guys! Sincerely, Kevin

20 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Mandy Moore always gets the credit for this song...it means so much more than A Walk To Remember portrayed as said above, it's really about John's stong relationship with God.

5 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I agree--It's about God's creation. But the movie "A Walk to Remember" is so beautiful and sad. I know Switchfoot wrote the song and his version's on the soundtrack as well, I think Mandy Moore did a really good job. (Surprisingly, she's a good singer if you give her a good song -unlike Candy and I wanna Be With You). My skating coach did a program to the song...that's when I first heard it.

84 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Amazing song...the vocals are so beautiful. I didn't even realize it was in A Walk To Remember until nowb which is weird considering I've seen that movie at least twenty times.

66 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I have to agree with 66Leigha66. I think Mandy Moore didn't do it as good as Jon and Switchfoot. I think she did a horrible job redoing it. It's just not the same. I love A walk to remember's soundtrack. I has a ton of Switchfoot songs on it. Even a duet between Jon and Mandy. Does a great job in the duet. Of course Jon sings so much better......

4 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Kevin, I so totally agree with you. I also think that when Switchfoot sings it, it sounds way better! Yay! Switchfoot rocks!

2 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This song is amazing! It's amazing to hear live! I'd have to say that it's strengths lie in it's lyrics. You can't touch the lyrics. I'd much prefer the music of mandy moore's version though. Not her vocals mind you. She can't sing worth beans. Jon's vocals in this song aren't the best but I prefer them over Mandy's.
