We just go through the motions,
Pretend to keep the peace,
We could win every award acting in our make-believe,
I thought I’d die when you left me,
I was sure we were meant to be,
I would have held on forever to nothing,
But when you left I got to be free.

I wanna thank you,
For closing the door,
I wanna thank you,
I'm loving me more,
Thank you, thank you.

Your zodiac told you it’s the time to retreat,
Though I don't usually care what the stars say,
This time I have to agree,
Mother Time is a healer but I don't need her today,
I got the antidote right here inside me,
Thank you for going away.

I wanna thank you, for closing the door,
I wanna thank you, I'm loving me more,
I wanna thank you, for setting me free for setting me free.

What do I wanna do?
What do I wanna say?
Where do I wanna go?
I'll do it today.

I wanna thank you, for closing the door,
I wanna thank you, I'm loving me more,
I wanna thank you, for setting me free,
I wanna thank you, for letting me be.

I wanna thank you, for closing the door,
I wanna thank you, I'm loving me more,
I wanna thank you, I wanna thank you.

Hope, hope, hope, hope, hope,
I see you baby, life is tearing you down oh yeah,
I know at times it can be hard, don't have to wear a frown,
You gotta have hope,
Hope, hope, hope, hope, hope.

I know it's getting you down, no time for negative thinking,
I say you gotta have hope, don't feel like you're just existing,
You've done the best you can, that's all you can ever do,
There is something greater out there and it's waiting just for you,
You gotta have hope,
Hope, hope, hope, hope, hope.

Keep your head high and reach for the stars,
If you think about the past you gotta walk with the last,
To clear my head I gotta walk through the park,
If you really want a blast you have to live through the heart,
Don't stress, run away from the dark, think twice before you think too fast,
In life all we get is one chance,
Stay true to your soul, you don't need to wear a mask,
Now I pray yeah I hope to be the best,
Gotta stay strong yeah I'm better than the rest,
It's all love you gotta pay your respect,
Last but not least man how could I forget,
You gotta, you gotta.

Hope, hope, hope, hope, hope.

Sometimes if it ain't goin your way, and hope seems like wishful thinking,
You're not on solid ground and it feels like you are sinking,
You gotta have hope,
Hope, hope, hope, hope, hope,
You gotta have hope.

I 'been shaking in my boots too long.

Lookin' out babe, how these boots are made, God made them for walking,
You know I couldn't help and stop when I heard, heard those people talking,
The Lord went for these lonely walks, now it won't be long till the hailstorm starts,
I don't wanna be here no more, what am I waiting for.

Lord, Lord, Lord don't let me down,
Lord, Lord, I'm on shaky ground.

Moving right along after the storm the dawn is drawing night,
My heart is breaking my legs are shaking, here comes another night,
The stars will soon be shining bright, got to get my head right,
It might be a long walk, you know I can't stop.

Lord, Lord, Lord don't let me down,
Lord, Lord, I'm on shaky ground.

Now I've walked for miles, feeling sanctified,
I was high when the skies turned blue at night,
I was just a little girl and every time my hair would curl,
Little boy blue he was a prince, he just walked by.

Lord, Lord, Lord don't let me down,
Lord, Lord, I'm on shaky ground.

Got us hatin', feedin' us their lies,
Cash in on division, rake it in that’s right,
Shine on, you're tough, what you hating for,
Shake down in love until we're all gone,
Yeah and if we want it we could have it all.

You gotta lay, lay down your arms,
You gotta lay, lay down your arms,
And so, it's your call.

Got no ticket to leave it all behind, yeah,
Got the spirit in our drunken minds,
Shine on, you're tough, what d’you shake ‘em for,
Shake down in love until we're all gone,
And if we want it we could have it all.

You gotta lay, lay down your arms,
You gotta lay, lay down your arms,
And so, it's your call.
