Hope For The World

Turn off the sound of war and hate
Honor the cries for a world
That decides on love not race
Follow me now if you can
In your heart is there a space?
Open your eyes to a light
That will never fade or die

Hold on to a hope for the world

Turn up the sound of a peaceful rest
Drown out the tears and the pain
Of our forefather's old game
I tell you it's not too late
To change our own mistakes
Swallow your fear and your pride
In ourselves, we can live or die

Hold on to a hope for the world

Put down your guns, we all bleed the same
Colors run red, who's to blame
For the loss and the hurt, for shame
God given right, take my hand
To a time and a place, disgrace
Is a word that you won't understand

Be my brother, my sister, friend

Hold on to a hope for the world
