  • I hope that the world stops raining
    Stops turning its back on the young
    See nobody here is blameless
    I hope that we can fix all that we've done

    I really hope Martin can't see this
    I hope that we still have a dream
    I'm hoping that change isn't hopeless
    I'm hoping to start it with me

    I just hope I'm not the only one
    I just hope I'm not the only one

    I hope we start seeing forever
    Instead of what we can gain in a day
    I hope we start seeing each other
    'Cause don't we all bleed the same

    I really hope someone can hear me
    That a child doesn't bear the weight of a gun
    I'll find the voice within me
    To scream at the top of my lungs

    I just hope I'm not the only one
    I just hope I'm not the only one

    Louder, I cannot hear you
    How can things be better left unsaid
    Call me, call me a dreamer
    But it seems that dreams are all that we've got left

    I hope we still have a heartbeat
    I hope we don't turn to snow
    A night when you turn the lights off
    I hope you don't cry alone

    I hope we stop taking for granted
    All of the land and all of the sea
    I'm taking a chance on loving
    I hope that you take it with me

    I just hope I'm not the only one
    I just hope I'm not the only one
    I just hope I'm not the only one Writer/s: ALICIA AUGELLO-COOK, EMELI SANDE
