Everyone knows there is pain in this life We've all seen our share of tears But I choose to live on the positive side And I won't be held hostage by fear I'm a prisoner of hope, bound by my faith Chained to Your love, locked up in grace I'm free to leave but I'll never go I'm wonderfully, willingly, freely a prisoner of hope Some people doubt what they don't understand But I know what's true in my heart Now I can't control what's out of my hands But I can lay back in Your arms I'm a prisoner of hope, bound by my faith I'm a prisoner of hope, bound by my faith, bound by my faith Chained to Your love, locked up in grace I'm free to leave but I'll never go I'm wonderfully, willingly, freely a prisoner of hope
