Something to Hope For - The Underserving

This song, used as background music for CNN's video montage of the Haiti earthquake coverage never fails to call my attention whenever it's played on TV.

God is our refuge and strength,
       an ever-present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
       and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
though its waters roar and foam
       and the mountains quake with their surging.

Something to Hope For

Do you remember when life was an ember waiting to burst into flames?
Are you so tired and so uninspired, slowly drifting to the end?
Don't let your heart keep breaking.
Move on. Please don't look back.

We fall down.
We get up.
We try to hold our head up when life pulls us apart.
We fight and we bleed but all we ever need is
Something to hope for, something to hope for.

Whatever we can see, whoever we should be is well within our reach.
Though nothing is certain we pull back the curtain longing for purpose there.

Don't let your heart keep breaking.
Move on. Please don't look back.

We fall down.
We get up. We try to hold our head up when life pulls us apart.
We fight and we bleed but all we ever need is
Something to hope for, something to hope for.

We bend, we may break, but we keep it together.
We give and we take but we keep trying.

We fall down.
We get up.
We try to hold our head up when life pulls us apart.
We fight and we bleed but all we ever need is
Something to hope for, something to hope for,
Something to hope for, something to hope for,
