FAWM: "Here's Hoping "

Here's Hoping

Liner Notes

Lyrics

Here's hoping this place is still here for the kids
Here's hoping that we will make a difference
Here's hoping love might find a way
Here's hoping that we finally make a change

I stopped looking at my phone I've checked out of the news
Half the nation fights the other over their misguided views
And everything they're fighting for has left me quite confused
If you look a little deeper you'd see they're the same as you

Sure add Insult to ignorance
It's not hard enough as is
Insert your tired old opinions like your elders did
Why break the mold embrace old
Force it on you kids
After all you've been called to do what Jesus did

Here's hoping we can stand up and be brave
Here's hoping that It's not too late
Heres hoping it doesn't come to more violence
Heres hoping that we don't repeat the past

Jesus didn't tell you to hate your fellow man
I think he said the opposite will help you reach the promise land
And he would hold you there in the palm of his hand
Just stop passing all your judgement try to understand
Heres hoping this doesn't last too long
Heres hoping there's still powering a song
Heres hoping we can make a change
Heres hoping love will find a way
Heres hoping love will find a way

What a really pleasant song. Nice light touch country feel, the sparse instrumentation highlights the lyrics well, and they are good! Really nice vocal tone makes this a very cool song!

Really nice job with this, Red! Great lyrics....so many of us are struggling with the division in our country and are indeed hoping for change. You acknowledge the challenges but don't just add to the anger over it all. You present the song well, too. Keep the songs comin'!
