compass of hope

BACKPACK FULLA DREAMS By Skarley (Duet) (Intro – Ukulele | Skarley) There's an angel in me head... Only reason I get outta bed. Got a devil painting everything red... Whispers war where love once bled. But I've still got... A backpack fulla dreams... A compass made of hope... And if I lose my way... I know I won't let go. Verse 1 – Skarley Backpack fulla dreams... Compass made of hope. Every road I never wanted Taught me how to cope. Feels like I'm on a tightrope, Walking up a slight slope. They said, "Conform." I laughed and said, "Nah... nope." Mind moves different, Heart beats loud. Smile in the daylight, Fight through the clouds. Finding rainbows in the rain When nobody else can. Guess that's what happens When you become your own plan. Verse 2 – Hope (Female Vocal) I know you've walked through storms That nobody else could see. I know you've worn a smile While carrying the sea. You don't have to earn The right to just belong. Sometimes the bravest thing... Is simply holding on. Your compass points to hope, Even when you're lost. Every scar's a lesson... Not the total cost. Pre-Chorus – Together Maybe home... Isn't somewhere... Maybe home... Is someone... Who says... "You're safe here." CHORUS – Together We're making safe spaces... With friendly faces... In hidden places... Where hope still waits. Backpack fulla dreams... Compass made of hope... If your world's gone dark... We'll help you cope. Whoa-oh-oh... Finding rainbows in the rain. Whoa-oh-oh... Love still knows your name. One life... One chance... Come walk this road... We'll find our way. Verse 3 – Rap (Skarley) Backpack fulla dreams, Compass made of hope. Every road I never wanted Taught me how to cope. Feels like I'm on a tightrope, Walking up a slight slope. They said, "Conform." I smiled and said, "Nah... nope." Smoke curls skyward, Thoughts all float. Sending little prayers On the breeze that wrote. Swirling tendrils drift away, Like ghosts that never stay. Hope's the only thing I know, That's all I've got today. If I stumble... I don't stay. I make another cuppa, Face another day. Started out with nothing But the words inside my head. Now those words are finding people Who thought their hope was dead. Every bruise, Every truth. Every lesson life broke through. Every laugh Pulled me back When I thought that I was through. Cop lights flash, Long nights pass. Life moves quick— Don't let it pass. Some chase gold, Some chase fame. I just hope They remember my name. Not for fortune. Not for wealth. But for making someone Believe in themselves. Bridge – Hope You built a fire... Not a throne. You made strangers... Feel at home. Sometimes healing Starts with one... Friendly face... And the words, "Come on." Final Chorus – Together + Choir We're making safe spaces... With friendly faces... In hidden places... Where strangers become family. Backpack fulla dreams... Compass made of hope... Turning broken into gold... One heart at a time. Finding rainbows in the rain... Even on the darkest days. If you're searching for a home... Come and sing... With us. (Outro – Spoken) Skarley: They told me to fit in... I built a place... For the people... Who never could. Hope: And sometimes... That's how the lost... Find each other. Both: Backpack fulla dreams... Compass made of hope...
