lyrics

I'm slow to learn, I'm slow to change,
I find this roller coaster life both beautiful and strange,
I try my best to sort things out, but, at times, I'm sort of clueless as to what this thing's about,
And I've been wrong and I've been used, but in light of the big picture I'm still peaceful and bemused.

Prisoner of hope tonight, with a reason to be faithful,
I'm a prisoner of hope tonight, with a reason to be grateful.

I'm slow to judge, I'm slow to fight,
I confess that my own track record is far from lily-white,
Sometimes I'm scared, sometimes I doubt,
Sometimes I make such a mess I'm sure there's no way out,
And I have failed and I have cried, but, at times, I find it's healthy when you dine on humble pie.

Prisoner of hope tonight, with a reason to be faithful,
I'm a prisoner of hope tonight, with a reason to be grateful.

Bound for all eternity by this three chord rope: Father, Son and Spirit,
I'm a prisoner of hope.

Yeah.

Captured by a love I don't deserve or understand,
Held within the grip of these awesome, holy hands,
You may say that this is just the dream of desperate men, but, far from desperate dreaming, I am waking up again.

Prisoner of hope tonight, with a reason to be faithful,
I'm a prisoner of hope tonight, with a reason to be grateful.

Yeah.

I'm a prisoner of hope tonight,
Prisoner of hope tonight.

Prisoner of hope tonight.

Yeah.

Hope tonight,
Yeah.

Well, well, well.
