Hope for Us Lyrics

Too late for us now?
I sat alone and I spoke out loud
On this darkened afternoon
The windows to my roomA solemn shutter on the world
Where I used to laugh and dream
For the first time in so long I make
My way down to the street
And watch the people as they passOutside I breathe the air
And all around fall shadows of despairI wonder is there hope for us
A place where we can all be free?
I wonder is there life
Inside a soul that dies?I wonder is there hope for us
To lift me up I don't know when
I'll see the sun again
I'd like to feel alive just one more timeHeadlines on the floor
Today's bitterness is the calling card
The commercial masquerade
The goods all on paradeThe needs of life are charming toys

We've gone deaf from all of the noise
Did the rich and powerful elite slowly and unnoticed
Come and steal our innocence?Entranced, we danced the dance
The stage is set, the crowd is on their kneesI wonder is there hope for us
A place where we can all be free?
I wonder is there life
Inside a soul that dies?I wonder is there hope for us?
We're stranded with no place to go
I'm feeling so alone
I'll try to make my way
Through one more dayI wonder is there hope for us
A place where we can all be free?
I wonder is there life
Inside a soul that dies?I wonder is there hope for us?
To lift me up I don't know when
I'll see the sun again
I'd like to feel alive just one more time
