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
Wonder 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 dutys 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
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 micheal, read the bible
Read koran, heed disciples, love is vital in the eyes of budda
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
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.
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
