Easy To Lose Hope

I

My home town's dear to me, it's always in my sight

(but) my city's shadows walk around in broad daylight

They'll even shoot a woman down for what she writes

So now you pay for civil liberty with life



Chorus

So hard it's easy to lose hope for everyone

So bad it's easier to never take it on

But we can't give up

And we can't lose hope

And we cannot hide away

We can overcome

But we must be strong

And we must not be afraid



Ii

You must not ever stop the search for peace within

Cause if you find it, there's no better prize to win

In losing peace of mind you're losing everything

Don't draw away from it whatever shape you're in



Chorus

So hard it's easy to lose hope for everyone

So bad it's easier to never take it on

But we can't give up

And we can't lose hope

And we cannot hide away

We can overcome

But we must be strong

And we must not be afraid



Iii

With 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?



Chorus

So hard it's easy to lose hope for everyone

So bad it's easier to never take it on

But we can't give up

And we can't lose hope

And we cannot hide away

We can overcome

But we must be strong

And we must not be afraid

We must not be afraid

We must not be afraid



Chorus

But we can't give up

And we can't lose hope

And we cannot hide away

We can overcome

But we must be strong

And we must not be

We must not be afraid

We must not be afraid
