Sarah Dukes - Hopes Up (Official)

A plea for hope, faith, and inner strength in life's darkest and most painful moments.

This song expresses the crossroads of deep pain and struggle with profound connection and trust. It's about finding the balance of accepting reality, while knowing we are not bound by it. It's about the dichotomy of living in a finite world with an infinite G-d; a merciful G-d who created nature and Who can change it at any second. It's asking for faith to believe that He will, and for continued trust when He doesn't...

LYRICS:
I get my hopes up
And watch them crumble down
It felt right
But I was wrong

You tell me
That I should keep on trying
But I don’t feel strong
I’m trying to hold on

Just give me the strength
To rebuild
What I see

Give me the courage
The faith
In what I used to believe

And I, I don't want to give up
But I’m feeling weak
Help me not give up on me

I build my dreams high
But they crash to the ground
Don’t know why
I need all these scars

It’s dark now
Don’t see where I am going
I can’t stop the fall
But I want to stop it all

Just give me the strength
To rebuild
What I see

Give me the courage
The faith
In what I used to believe

And I, I don't want to give up
But I’m feeling weak
Help me not give up on me

Just let it go
And try again, you say
But it’s not easy
For me

When the signs all point the other way
And you’re asking me to stay
I know I need to stay...

So give me the strength
To rebuild
What I see

Give me the courage
The faith
In what I used to believe

And I, I know I won't give up
But I’m feeling weak
Help me not give up on me

I get my hopes up
And watch them fall
But it's not over...
