| Many are stained with souls corrupt
|
| Hope they locate change when old enough
|
| A message that I got when growing up
|
| Is drink and smoke pot until ya throwing up
|
| So is the world getting colder?
|
| Nah, then I look where them soldiers are
|
| Wondering why I just wrote that bar
|
| Where we living is poles apart
|
| With open hearts I see people building
|
| A bridge to the world to feed some children
|
| A new light to lead some millions
|
| Fight evil, be resilient
|
| Role models saying ‘grip that gun', we
|
| Marching to a different drum
|
| Drugs will bring you a fist of funds
|
| But make your journey a twisted one
|
| Just begun to see duty’s change
|
| Seek truth not pursuit of fame
|
| Some choosing to fuel them flames
|
| But they looking like fools today
|
| If the youth decay
|
| Focus dies, time to retrain mobilize
|
| Them old ways have been pulverized
|
| We got a new table to roll that dice
|
| Inner demons like a poltergeist
|
| Had us living so cold as ice
|
| But now kids got global eyes
|
| Hopes alive
|
| Conquer fear, new ideas;
|
| See these kids, pioneers
|
| For future years, visions clear, what this is
|
| ‘This is Hope… This is Hope'
|
| New ideas, see these kids, pioneers
|
| For future years, visions clear, what this is
|
| ‘This is Hope'
|
| Conquer fear, new ideas
|
| See these kids, pioneers
|
| For future years, visions clear, what this is
|
| ‘This is Hope… this is Hope'
|
| New ideas, see these kids
|
| Pioneers, for future years, visions clear, what this is
|
| ‘This is Hope'
|
| Like they sing in Liverpool
|
| You’ll never walk alone
|
| Any girl, any fella from a broken home
|
| Anyone neglected in a warring zone
|
| Lost their abode and was forced to roam
|
| Still they spoke in the warmest tones
|
| Kept Hope as a cornerstone
|
| From these gifts we ought to grow
|
| I quit spitting them morbid poems
|
| Like cortisones to stop the hate swelling
|
| Still see pain in locked away felons
|
| Still need change and lots of rebelling
|
| Use brains we got to be heading
|
| In the right direction, right progression
|
| Minds can be quite perplexing
|
| My confession, life is testing
|
| And positive thought fights depression
|
| Like songs of Michael, read the Bible
|
| Read Koran, heed disciples
|
| Love is vital in the eyes of Buddha
|
| And even scribes from the tribes of Judah
|
| One word to describe the future…
|
| Hope
|
| Conquer fear, new ideas;
|
| See these kids, pioneers
|
| For future years, visions clear, what this is
|
| ‘This is Hope… This is Hope'
|
| New ideas, see these kids, pioneers
|
| For future years, visions clear, what this is
|
| ‘This is Hope'
|
| Conquer fear, new ideas
|
| See these kids, pioneers
|
| For future years, visions clear, what this is
|
| ‘This is Hope… this is Hope'
|
| New ideas, see these kids
|
| Pioneers, for future years, visions clear, what this is
|
| ‘This is Hope'
|
| What this is, what this is
|
| What this is
|
| ‘This is Hope'
|
| See these kids
|
| ‘This is Hope'
|
| Futures here
|
| ‘This is Hope, this is Hope' |
