[Verse 1: Emeli Sandé]
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
Yeah, I just hope I’m not the only one

[Verse 2: Emeli Sandé]
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
Hope I find the voice within me to scream at the top of my lungs
I just hope I’m not the only one
Yeah, I just hope I’m not the only one

[Bridge: Emeli Sandé]
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

[Verse 3: Emeli Sandé]
I hope we still have a heartbeat
I hope we don’t turn to stone
At 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

[Outro: Emeli Sandé]
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
