Easy to Lose Hope

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
