Easy To Lose Hope

Lyrics

My home town's dear to me, it's always in my sight But my city's shadows walk around in broad daylight They'll even shoot a woman down for what she writes So now you pay for civil liberty with life [Chorus] So hard it's easy to lose hope for everyone So bad it's easier to never take it on But we can't give up And we can't lose hope And we cannot hide away We can overcome But we must be strong And we must not be afraid You must not ever stop the search for peace within Cause if you find it, there's no better prize to win In losing peace of mind you're losing everything Don't draw away from it whatever shape you're in [Chorus] With all our songs and stories we have brushed aside The very nature of a beast we tried to hide With all the ugliness this city has to fight How could we leave it to a mother and a wife? [Chorus] We must not be afraid We must not be afraid [Chorus] But we can't give up And we can't lose hope And we cannot hide away We can overcome But we must be strong And we must not be We must not be afraid We must not be afraid
