A New Hope

Amy’s going back to school today
Elation, jubilation
Streams from her face
Did the halls smell
Of gunpowder still
What made the human mind
Dark enough to kill
A new hope
Where there is freedom
A new hope
Cast off your burdens
A darker world lies behind this one
Cryptic, it hides beneath perception
We all saw it on that day
Stunned, we stood stuttering
What did the news say
A new hope
Where is your freedom
A new hope
Cast off your burdens
A new hope
Where there is freedom
A new hope
Here is your freedom
Peace
Fills us
By hope we steer
Our dark hearts salvaged
We live without fear
Peace
Fills us
By hope we steer
Our dark hearts salvaged
We live without fear
Peace
Fills us
By hope we steer
Our dark hearts salvaged
We live without fear
A new hope
Where there is freedom
A new hope
Cast off your burdens
A new hope
Where there is freedom
A new hope
Here is your freedom
Hope
