The sky may fall and stars crash down
Trees cut down
Seeds kept safe beneath the ground
But they can't take away my hope.
A dammed river doesn't run free
Stopped by a box made of greed
But they can't take away my hope.
My hope can't take away my hope
Let the sky open up
Let the rain crush these dams
Let the thunder awaken me
Please hope descend on me
Pollutants choking up my soul
Head so dizzy spun out of control
Take a deep breath to soften the toll
But they can't take away my hope.
My hope
Let the sky open up
Let the rain crush these dams
Let the thunder awaken me
Please hope descend on me
Let the sky open up
Let the rain crush these dams
Let the thunder awaken me
Please hope descend on me
Enslave nations forced on plantations forced on reservations
Stolen generations commit genocide
Atrocities beyond belief but you can't take away my hope
My hope can't take away my hope
My hope
