Story Behind The Song
This song began as almost a progressive rock tune. After working with our producer, we turned it into a real song. The lyrics were the last part of the song to come. I wanted to write a song that was in contrast to my song "No News," which is more critical.

Lyrics
Song Of Hope
We're not meant to see beyond today
These forecasts shouldn't change our way
I know we're never far behind
We're hangin' on a prayer
And we might run outta time
What I seek is a way out of the grind
I'm tired in my body and my mind
So I'm leavin' my comforts far behind
Gotta make a difference for a world in such a bind
I'm gonna sing a song of hope
I'm gonna fall to my knees and pray,
May the morning sun open up our eyes to a brand new way
I'm gonna sing a song of hope
To quell this sea of rage
And let all souls come to know
The peace we can see someday
How much are we willin' to give?
Can we leave those lives we've come to live?
'cause I know, we'll never miss a dime
And there's nothin' that'll ever change my mind
