What's your favorite song about hope?

Andy Hull is one of the best lyricists in rock music, no doubt:

> It's like everything that I ever have imagined > Is coming true today > > There is a cost my friend, for living out some other dream > To bind a consequence > It comes and goes in seasons around here, I thawed again > There's nothing left around to yield a sorry ignorance > > If I do let go, I hope you never see > There is no one there that's waiting after me > And I hope if there is one thing I let go > It is the way that we cope > > And I hope if there is one thing that we know > From the way that you and I will wander off > And we won’t become a lifeless load > That wanders around and hopes for sorrow >I know... I know
