Easy to Lose Hope - Eleanor McEvoy

Easy to Lose Hope Lyrics

My home towns dear to me, its always in my sight
My citys shadows walk around in broad daylight
Theyll even shoot a woman down for what she writes
So now you pay for civil liberty with lifeSo hard, its easy to lose hope for everyone
So bad, its easier to never take it onBut we cant give up
And we cant lose hope
And we cannot hide awayWe can overcome
But we must be strong
And we must not be afraidYou must not ever stop the search for peace within
'Cause if you find it, theres no better prize to win
In losing peace of mind youre losing everything
Dont draw away from it, whatever shape youre inSo hard, its easy to lose hope for everyone
So bad, its easier to never take it onBut we cant give up
And we cant lose hope
And we cannot hide away'Cause we can overcome
But we must be strong
And we must not be afraidWith all our songs and stories we have brushed aside
The very nature of a beast we tried to hide

With all the ugliness this city has to fight
How could we leave it to a mother and a wife?So hard, its easy to lose hope for everyone
So bad, its easier to never take it onBut we cant give up
And we cant lose hope
And we cannot hide awayWe can overcome
But we must be strong
And we must not be
We must not be afraidWe must not be afraid
We must not be afraidWe cant give up
And we cant lose hope
And we cannot hide awayWe can overcome
But we must be strong
And we must not be
We must not be afraidWe must not be afraid
We must not be afraid
