Hope For Us

Music: B. Allman, C. Ingles, Lyrics, Vocal Melodies: C.Cadden-James, M.Baker 



“Too late for us now?”

I sat alone and I spoke out loud

on this darkened afternoon 

The windows to my room 

A 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 pass



Outside I breathe the air

and all around fall shadows of despair 



I 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



Headlines on the floor 

Today's bitterness is the calling card 

The commercial masquerade 

The goods all on parade 

The needs of life are charming toys 

We've gone deaf from all the noise 

When did the rich and powerful elite 

Slowly and unnoticed come and steal our innocence? 



Entranced, we danced their dance 

The stage is set, the crowd is on their knees 



I 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 day



I 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
