I Hope

How could we ever Come to this you say Our lives do not matter And justice has no face To study war and anger Burns the fabric of our state Sends a message to our neighbors That we've fallen from the fray It's a long road to walk on And I don't know where it ends But I hope And when I'm too tired to carry on I don't know if you'll be there But I hope Dream on dreamers When the promises fade It can only leave room For the great And when you long for a hero No need to look around You will be one and the same I said, fight on brothers Oh, tell me you understand It's a power that's placed in your hands, yeah, yeah And march on sisters You're never alone Lift us up and carry us home 'Cause it's a long road to walk on (long road) And I don't know where it ends But I hope And when I'm too tired to carry on (too tired) I don't know if you'll be there But I hope If you should stray (if you should stray) Or give up someday (give up someday) I'll fight for you And if I should fall (if I should fall) And not make it at all Will you go on Still standing strong It's a long road to walk on (long road) And I don't know if it ends But I hope And when I'm too tired to carry on (too tired) I don't know if you'll be there I hope We've come too far (too far) To turn around And we won't back down I hope And you might say We'll never, never see the end Well I don't know my friend I hope I hope I hope For you For me I hope
