==Lyric== |
|||
there`s a song that`s inside of my soul |
|||
it`s the one that I`ve tried to write over and over again |
|||
I`m awake and in the infinite cold |
|||
but you sing to me over and over and over again |
|||
so I lay my head back down |
|||
and I lift my hands and pray |
|||
to be only yours I pray |
|||
to be only yours I know now |
|||
you`re my only hope |
|||
sing to me of the song of the stars |
|||
of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again |
|||
when it feels like my dreams are so far |
|||
sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again |
|||
so I lay my head back down |
|||
and I lift my hands and pray |
|||
to be only yours I pray |
|||
to be only yours I know now |
|||
you`re my only hope |
|||
I give you my destiny |
|||
I`m giving you all of me |
|||
I want your symphony |
|||
singing in all that I am |
|||
at the top of my lungs |
|||
I`m giving it back |
|||
so I lay my head back down |
|||
and I lift my hands and pray |
|||
to be only yours I pray |
|||
to be only yours I pray |
|||
to be only yours I pray |
|||
to be only yours I know now |
|||
you`re my only hope |
|||
Jamie saved my life, I always miss her |
|||
but I loved, hu, |
|||
it`s like the wind, I can`t see it, but I can feel it |

"Only Hope" was covered by Mandy Moore for the film A Walk to Remember (arranged and produced by the film's composer Mervyn Warren) and is included in her compilation The Best of Mandy Moore, although left out of her 2001 release. It was slated as the second single after "Cry" which, however, was not a hit and consequently "Only Hope" was not released to radio. A music video—largely a duplicate of the movie—was shot and was released successfully to music channels in Asia. Filipino singers Gary Valenciano and Miguel Escueta also covered the song.
In the film A Walk to Remember
Jamie sings to Landon during the school play where they fall in love. The song ends when Landon kisses Jamie. Additionally Switchfoot's original version was played towards the end of the movie when they got married in the church, transitioning from an orchestral score piece that was influenced by the song and was specifically written to segue into it.
