Hope in the Streets

Hands up for the

ones

still fighting

We carry their names tonight

From the blocks to the border lines,

I see tired eyes Kids in the cold night praying that the

sun will rise Mothers hold the weight like the world on a

wire Some dreams get buried while the rich climb higher So I

speak for the quiet when the room goes still For the hands

that are empty and the hearts with will No cape,

no throne, just people trying to cope We can start with each

other, that is how we hold hope If we run as one,

no one falls behind Every broken road can turn with time

Let the whole world hear this open cry

We rise together, hearts in the sky For

every soul still holding on tonight One world,

one song, one reason to try We lift each other,

we

do not

let go From hurt

to hope, let the whole world know We rise together,

we rise I met a man with a grin but his rent

ran late Said pride tastes bitter when you cannot feed your plate

I know a girl with a book and a brilliant mind But

fear at home keeps stealing all her time

This is not pity,

this is truth on the drum If the door stays closed then

we kick it with love No flag means nothing if the people

feel unseen So we sing for the human,

not the headline dream

When the night feels long Hold on,

hold on When the world looks away

We stay, we stay We rise together,

hearts in the sky For every soul still holding on tonight One

world, one song, one reason to try We lift

each other, we do not let go From hurt to hope,

let the whole world know We rise together,

we rise We rise,

we

rise No one left

outside
