[Intro]
How could I believe
One man could destroy
All my father lived for?
This land that I've loved
This land torn apart
Is this what he died for?
[Verse 1]
I grew among these people
Now their lives are held in chains
And the houses built with love
Are prison walls
We believed the land was sacred
Now the land is stained with blood
And where the children once sang hymns
The Devil calls
[Chorus]
Hope, building a future
Hope, bound us together
Hope, strong as the will to be here
Time, time brought us closer
Trust making us stronger
Dreams, knowing we could be free here
[Verse 2]
The day I left these people
I never thought about my past
It was the only way I thought I could survive
I turned my back on all they gave me
And I, I've wasted all these years
But I vow to keep my father's dream alive
This I swear
[Chorus]
Now, nothing else matters
Fear, clear as the runrise
Strong, all that my father prayed for
Lord, let there be justice
Love, let there be mercy
This is what I was made for
Hope, building a future
Hope, we will be stronger
Hope, strong as the will to be here
Truth, truth is our freedom
Faith making us stronger
Dreams, knowing we could be free here
[Outro]
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love
