Back Porch Saints - Hope [Official Visualizer]

Описание: Introducing Songs from the Back Porch, an album from the Back Porch Saints!

A husband-and-wife folk duo rooted in Kentucky soil and Florida sunsets.

Raised on hymns, 90s country radio, and front-porch storytelling, Back Porch Saints blend southern folk, blues-rock grit, and reflective songwriting. Their music lives somewhere between backroads and redemption — songs about faith, doubt, growing up, breaking down, and finding your way home again.

They don’t preach.
They don’t pretend.
They just tell it straight.

Lyrics:

Hope…
It’s the light when the night gets colder,
The fire when the world feels over.
I don’t know where the pain all goes,
But I hold— I hold to hope.

I been walkin’ through the gray where the sun don’t rise,
Tryna find myself in the space between lies.
Heart heavy like the rain that never hit the ground,
And the silence in my chest was the only sound.
But I kept pushin’, even when the walls closed tight,
’Cause I learned you find hope in the darkest nights.
Every crack in the pavement showed a seed could grow—
A reminder in the rubble that the light still glows.
Now I move with a purpose that the pain once stole,
Held together by the hope that rebuilt my soul.

I was down on my knees with a heart gone numb,
Feelin’ empty from the battles I was runnin’ from.
Every voice in my head said “you won’t make it,”
But the fear in my chest said “girl, just face it.”
I clawed outta shadows with a spark I saved,
Turned the ashes of my past into something brave.
Hope ain’t quiet— it screams when you need it,
A promise in the dark sayin’ “don’t you leave it.”
Now my strength ain’t loud but it’s carved from stone,
And I learned how to fight from the nights alone.

When the night gets heavy, hold tight.
When the demons get loud, you fight.
Even broken wings can rise slow.
Even shattered hearts find hope.

I ain’t sayin’ that the scars ever fade away,
I just learned how to breathe when the weight still stays.
Every loss left a lesson that I carry now,
Every low showed me strength I was never allowed.
I was built in the fire, not saved from the flame,
Had to lose who I was just to earn my name.
If tomorrow still hurts, I won’t run or cope—
I’ll stand in the storm with my hand on hope.

Hope…
It’s the light when the night gets colder
(The light…)
The fire when the world feels over
(I rise…)
I don’t know where the pain all goes,
But I hold—
Still hold—
To hope.
If the road disappears beneath my feet,
If the answers never come to me—
I’ll hold on
To hope.

If the road disappears beneath my feet,
If the answers never come to me—
I’ll hold on
To hope.
