It ain't the same as yesterday
Now I'm black, now I'm blue, want someone to blame
No, it ain't gonna be the same
But it faith still remains that's enough for change

I thought I had a patient heart
I thought I had the means to understand this
But even if I don't, I'll hold you close to me

We got that ho-o-o-ope, ho-o-o-ope, ho-o-o-ope
Hope, hope, hope
I would look you in the eye and I'll apologize
For every belief that has kept us hiding
And hope, hope, hope

So tеll me the truth
Lay your bones nеxt to me, we can talk through
Are you tired and confused?
Yeah, I have lived in my head, I have worn out those shoes

I thought they had patient hearts
I thought they had the means to understand us
But even if they don't, I'll hold you close to me

We got that ho-o-o-ope, ho-o-o-ope, ho-o-o-ope
Hope, hope, hope
I would look you in the eye and I'll apologize
For every belief that has kept us hiding
And hope, hope, hope

Right now all we need is the people
Right now all we need is some peace
Stand tall, stand strong, stand equal
All my people

We need hope, hope, hope
Hope, hope, hope
I would look you in the eye and I'll apologize
For every belief that has kept us hiding
And hope, hope, hope

Right now all we need is the people
Right now all we need is some peace
Stand tall, stand strong, stand equal
All my people
(All my people)
