      Brilliant suggestion. Love that song; love this choir. No-one could do it justice after S&G (Disturbed comes a very close second) but Stellenbosch? Stellenbosch could elevate that song in ways I don't yet know exist.

    Lyrics 👇
    Hope when you take that jump
    You don't fear the fall
    Hope when the water rises
    You built a wall
    Hope when the crowd screams out
    It's screaming your name
    Hope if everybody runs
    You choose to stay
    Hope that you fall in love
    And it hurts so bad
    The only way you can know
    You give it all you have
    And I hope that you don't suffer
    But take the pain
    Hope when the moment comes you'll say
    I, I did it all
    I, I did it all
    I owned every second that this world could give
    I saw so many places
    The things that I did
    Yeah, with every broken bone
    I swear I lived
    Hope that you spend your days
    But they all add up
    And when that sun goes down
    Hope you raise your cup
    Oh, oh
    I wish that I could witness
    All your joy
    And all your pain
    But until my moment comes, I'll say
    I, I did it all
    I, I did it all
    I owned every second that this world could give
    I saw so many places
    The things that I did
    Yeah, with every broken bone
    I swear I lived
    Oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
    Oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
    Oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
    Oh, whoa-oh-oh, oh, whoa-oh-oh
    (With every broken bone)
    I swear I lived
    (With every broken bone)
    I swear I
    I, I did it all
    I, I did it all
    I owned every second that this world could give
    I saw so many places
    The things that I did
    Yeah with every broken bone
    I swear I lived
    Oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
    Oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
