Hope - A Broken Silence

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'
