hope is a river

hope is a river

a stream of

casting your fears away

the sky

shouts out to the underdogs who

put their favorite artists on the walls and

can never get enough of one song

so it plays and it plays all day long

cause all the pain outside they don't wanna see

so they write songs constantly

cause a doctor or a lawyer they don't wanna be

and i ask do you really have grow up just to be what you wanna be?

so shouts out to the mc's and the divas and the singers and the prom queens

and the folks who don't ever get invited to the party

but somehow be the first on the scene

to the folks who just wanna be free

fuck all of that youtube

young

you can't see

ask them when's the last time they had a dream

cause every river leads to the sea

to the sea

hope is a river that runs wider

a stream of floating desires

casting your fears away

as it float above the skies

the skies

where your worries will drown out

you imagine how it would be right now

casting your fears away as it float above the skies

the skies

hope is a river

hope is a river

hope is a river

of dreams run free

so be real

real

real

to be real

and i pray for the good days

for the world to be a better place

cause i know one day

be a better way

everyone could have a getaway

where we go into a place where there's love in hearts now

hearts now

hearts now

and i know that one day will be away from the gun play

cause somehow all the pain got a soon change

take away all the pain and the hate til its love now

the world needs a big change and we need it right now

hope is a river that runs wider

a stream of floating desires

casting your fears away

as it float above the skies

the skies

where your worries will drown out

you imagine how it would be right now

casting your fears away as it float above the skies

the skies

hope is a river

hope is a river

hope is a river

of dreams run free

so be real

real

real

to be real
