Jefferson Knight, Jonas Music - Keep Hope Alive Lyrics

You were seventeen when it left you
When your innocence was gone
All that you held inside your hands before
Went to the hands of God
No one to blame but yourself now
And you squandered what you had
All of the time in front of you before
Was now behind your back

But those days are gone
When you were young
You've never realized what you have still
You have the time
So don't let it die
Keep hope alive

Now you're twenty-three and you're lonely
Cause your friends have let you down
And all that you kept inside your hands for now
Are drugs and alcohol
You were trying to find all the reasons
For your problems in your friends
All of the chances that you had before
Were wasted once again

But those days are gone
When you were young
You've never realized what you have still
You have the time
So don't let it die
Keep hope alive

Keep hope alive
Keep hope alive
Keep hope alive
Don't let it die
Keep hope alive
Keep hope alive
Keep hope alive
Don't let it

Keep hope alive
Keep hope alive
Keep hope alive
Don't let it die
Keep hope alive
Keep hope alive
Keep hope alive
Don't let it

Those days are gone
When you were young
You've never realized what you have still
You have the time
So don't let it die

But those days are gone
When you were young
You've never realized what you have still
You have the time
So don't let it die
Keep hope alive
