Hope when you take that jump
You don't feel the fall
Hope when the water rises
You built a wall
Hope when the crowd screams
They're screaming your name
Hope if everybody runs
You choose to stay
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is the first verse...

This practicaly means that if/when something happens you are well prepared for it. Not only will you be prepared, but you will be safe when it happens.
