Hope in the Dawn

Yeah, we ride real slow down these dusty roads

Voice of a man, truth unfoldin', stories untold

Hope in our hearts, even through the tears

Hold on tight, y'all, for a better tomorrow appears

See, I believe in the power of the individual vote

In the land where dreams attempt to float

But some days, the world feels cold and cruel

Like a rusty chain that's breakin' us in two

We hustle hard, pray harder, wish for change

Holdin' onto hope, even with the pain

We see the scars, the scars of society's fight

But refuse to give up without a fight

Every voice counts, every step matters

Dreamin' of days when justice shatters

The darkness, bringin' light, bringin' truth to the fight

Standin' tall in the dawn's early light

Hoping till tomorrow, even if today show's fury

Birds in the sky, singin' their melody

In this crazy world, where love feels fleeting

We keep on believin', keep on dreamin'

Live till tomorrow, no matter what today brings

Keep on holdin' on to the hope within

Though society's cruel, won't let the pain steal

Our spirit, our voice, our right to be real

Live till tomorrow, hold on like steel

In the face of trouble, we still try to heal

Freedom in our hearts, ain’t no lie

We pray for brighter days, as time drifts by

From city streets to the rural farms

We got dreams that keep us from the harm

Yeah, we see the injustice, the hate that spreads

But we choose love, even when dread fills our heads

They try to silence, try to shout us down

But our voices rise, wear the truth like a crown

Democracy of the individual, that’s the plan

Standing strong as a united man

We march to the beat of a different drum

Hoping for a day when hate is numb

Understanding, compassion, bridges we build

In this race for peace, we won't be still

Hold hope in your heart, let it guide your way

Even if shadows darken the day

Every man and woman, a part of the story

Fighting for justice, for hope, for glory

Hoping till tomorrow, even if today show's fury

Birds in the sky, singin' their melody

In this crazy world, where love feels fleeting

We keep on believin', keep on dreamin'

Live till tomorrow, no matter what today brings

Keep on holdin' on to the hope within

Though society's cruel, won't let the pain steal

Our spirit, our voice, our right to be real

Live till tomorrow, hold on like steel

In the face of trouble, we still try to heal

Freedom in our hearts, ain’t no lie

We pray for brighter days, as time drifts by

Let the truth ring out, from mountains high to the plains

Won't let the darkness drown out the rain

We believe, we fight, for the right to be free

In this democracy of you and me

Hold on tight, till the morning comes

Dawn’s breakin', new days for everyone

Faith in the future, hope in the night

Keep pushin' forward, keep up the fight

So till the next sunrise, hold your head up high

Keep dreamin’, prayin’, watch the world pass by

Tomorrow’s a promise, a gift to hold

With every heartbeat, brave and bold

Hoping, living through the pain and the strife

This is our country, this is our life

Till the break of dawn, we’ll keep singin’ this song

Standin’ tall, forever strong
