A-// |/ |A-//[Verse 1]Sometimes what you need is what you fightLike a wounded man out on the runLike shadows hiding from the lightBut your love is what I was running fromHope’s a seed you have to sowWhen you let it go it comes to lifeSo you stretch your arrows on the bowAnd you pull them back and watch them fly[Chorus]My heartbeat, my oxygenMy banner, my homeMy future, my songYour hope is the anthem of my soul, oh whoa oh whoa[Verse 2]My lungs and I were born to fightSometimes I’m not sure what I’m fighting forBut death ain’t the only end in sight’Cause this ain’t a battle it’s a lifelong war[Chorus]My heartbeat, my oxygenMy banner, my homeMy freedom, my songYour hope is the anthem of my soul, oh whoa(Oh whoa) Your hope is the anthem of my soul, oh whoa[Bridge]My heart is beating like a blown speakerThe spirit is willing but the flesh is weakerA distortion pedal and a pair of wingsAnd an anthem played on broken strings[Chorus 2x]My heartbeat, my oxygenMy banner, my homeMy future, my songYour hope is the anthemYeah, Your hope is the anthem of my soul(Your hope is the anthem of my soul)(Your hope is the anthem of my soul)[Outro]Yeah, could you make me wholeYeah, could you make me wholeYeah, could you make me whole
