If Hope Exists

Verse

I keep checking the same crossroads, footprints fading in the rain

Every signpost reads the same: belonging, but it’s faint

Your laugh used to be a lighthouse; now it’s just a light that blinks

I’m circling the harbor with a heart that never docks, it sinks

Pre-chorus

Tell me if the map is wrong, or if I lost the keys somehow

I’ve been talking to the shadows, they just cough and bow

Chorus

If hope exists — please tell me where to find it

Is it under the bed, in the pockets of old white shirts?

Is it on the porch of somebody else’s kind of morning?

If hope exists — lend me a compass, lend me a verse

Point me to hope before the night forgets my name

Verse

I trace your fingerprints on mirrors that don’t remember you

Every picture in the hallway looks like a question I can’t chew

I buy myself a sunrise, but the coffee’s always cold

I wear the weight of wanting like a story left untold

Pre-chorus

If there’s a place where broken things find light and heal somehow

Send me a postcard, babe — just a line, just now

Chorus

If hope exists — please tell me where to find it

Is it tucked inside a letter that you never sent?

Is it held by the hands of strangers who keep walking by?

If hope exists — whisper the coordinates, whisper them soft

Point me to hope before these rooms swallow the sound

Bridge

I’ve been a tourist in my own life, suitcase full of maybe

Standing at the window, watching futures pass on the highway

If hope’s a train, I missed one, I missed two, I missed three

But I’ll stand on the platform, I’ll keep waiting patiently

Chorus

If hope exists — please tell me where to find it

Is it in the lullaby you hum when you don’t think I’m awake?

Is it in the bones of old guitars you never learned to play?

If hope exists — I’ll follow your shadow like a lighthouse call

Point me to hope, even if it’s a whisper down the hall

Outro

If hope exists, don’t leave me guessing in this weather

Fold me into directions, tie the ribbon on forever

Point me to hope — I’ll follow the line you draw tonight.
