The world is set to a slow burn
We divide ourselves on our opinions
The strong make decisions for us
Things happen that is out of our control
And they affect us, one way or the other
Still I hold out hope
For a brighter future, a better tomorrow
This has all happened before
Tragedy, destruction, decimation
And then we gather the pieces and rebuild
We do our best to make something better
And try our best to make it last
It happened before and it is happening again
We’re at a point where things are bad
Just like we were before
We’re hurting each left and right
Just like we did before
We’re creating more problems than we can fix
Just like we did before
But still, I hold out hope
I believe we can and will get ourselves out of this
And lift each other out from this desolate pit we dug
Maybe I’m just fooling myself
Maybe I’m delusional
Still I hold out hope
Tomorrow is a mystery and no one knows what will happen
And that is why I hold out hope
