Here's Hoping

Liner Notes

Lyrics

Here's hoping this place is still here for the kids Here's hoping that we will make a difference Here's hoping love might find a way Here's hoping that we finally make a change

I stopped looking at my phone I've checked out of the news Half the nation fights the other over their misguided views And everything they're fighting for has left me quite confused If you look a little deeper you'd see they're the same as you

Sure add Insult to ignorance It's not hard enough as is Insert your tired old opinions like your elders did Why break the mold embrace old Force it on you kids After all you've been called to do what Jesus did

Here's hoping we can stand up and be brave Here's hoping that It's not too late Heres hoping it doesn't come to more violence Heres hoping that we don't repeat the past

Jesus didn't tell you to hate your fellow man I think he said the opposite will help you reach the promise land And he would hold you there in the palm of his hand Just stop passing all your judgement try to understand Heres hoping this doesn't last too long Heres hoping there's still powering a song Heres hoping we can make a change Heres hoping love will find a way Heres hoping love will find a way

What a really pleasant song. Nice light touch country feel, the sparse instrumentation highlights the lyrics well, and they are good! Really nice vocal tone makes this a very cool song!

Really nice job with this, Red! Great lyrics....so many of us are struggling with the division in our country and are indeed hoping for change. You acknowledge the challenges but don't just add to the anger over it all. You present the song well, too. Keep the songs comin'!
