Hope

Beverly Craven

The Martyrs of democracy 
are lying in the street,
People with the power, 
kill to keep their piece,

A string of lies justifies, 
whatever they decide will be, 
and steal the right of liberty.

And I hope it's gonna be alright, 
it's gonna be alright, alright
And I hope it's gonna be alright, 
it's gonna be alright, alright

Naivete, the sanctuary, 
was bequethed to the young,
we hand them a legacy 
of all we have become,

The moral crimes of evil minds, 
forever blinded by their greed, 
have lost all sight of honesty.

And I hope they're gonna see the light, 
it's gonna be alright, alright
And I hope they're gonna be alright, 
they're gonna be alright, alright

Fuel the fire with our desire, 
to buy a life of luxury, 
and peace of mind with charity,

And I hope I'm going to sleep tonight, 
it's gonna be alright, alright
And I hope they're gonna be alright, 
they're gonna be alright, alright
aaaaar, it's gonna be alright, 
it's gonna be alright, alright
aaaaar, it's gonna be alright, alright
