Hope

How could I believe One man could destroy All my father lived for? This land that I've loved This land torn apart Is this what he died for? I grew among these people Now their lives are held in chains And the houses built with love Are prison walls We believed the land was sacred Now the sand is stained with blood And where children once sang hymns The Devil calls Hope, building a future Hope bound us together Hope, strong as the will to be here Time, time, brought us closer Trust making us stronger Dreams, knowing we could be free here And the day I left these people I never thought about my past It was the only way I thought I could survive I turned my back on all they gave me And I've wasted all these years But I vow to keep my father's dream alive This I swear! Now, nothing else matters Fear, clear as the sunrise Strong, all that my father prayed for Lord, let there be justice Love, there will be mercy Look, this is what I was made for Hope will build a future Hope, we will be stronger Hope, strong as the will to be here Truth, truth is our freedom Faith making us stronger Dreams, knowing we could be free here My, my father's love, I swear My, my life, I'll free this land!
