Hope is Overrated
The knee has been lifted The guilt has been shifted The spotlight is shining And there is no more hiding The wolf has been found And we all celebrate now That justice has been served As he awaits his term It will never be long enough It will never replace the love Stolen from those around you When he kneeled upon you But the knee has been lifted The world has been gifted With hope of change Hope on a grander stage Hope...until we turn on the news Until we see your name replaced anew The burden of this weight The fight for life too late Is getting old, is getting heavy A story too many times told, as we all sit ready The next name to add to an evergrowing list Even as we know there are too many names we've missed I've heard it said you can finally breathe, But really? We all know that isn't true As we take deep breaths for you And look to the skies For a sign Of hope for tomorrow's boy Hope for the next George ...
