I was on the ground
I mean the literal ground
Drunk out of my mind, they said it´s closing time
And then they threw me out
I was half asleep

Then they woke me up
Told me, "Everything is going to be what it is
But, yeah, you gotta get up"
Then they took me home
Put me in my bed
Took off both my shoes, said a man can choose
To crawl or stand up

Hope for the night time
Love every stranger
Hope when you don´t know
If you can make it out
Hope for the weary (Hope for the weary), yeah, yeah
Life is contagious
Hope for your journey (Hope for your journey)
Hope for you

I was up before you
Threw out all my booze
Put on my walking shoes, threw out my drinking shoes
And swore I´d give it up
I made it to around 6
We´re talking p.m. now
Was back at the same bar, I´ll get it started tomorrow
I ain´t ready now
I was on the ground
I mean the literal ground
Drunk out of my mind, they said it´s closing time
And then they threw me out

Hope for the night time
Love every stranger
Hope when you don´t know

If you can make it out
Hope for the weary (Hope for the weary), yeah, yeah
Life is contagious
Hope for your journey (Hope for your journey)
Hope for you
