Hope Lyrics - Vicetone

I've never been more hopeful about our future 

I've never been more hopeful about America 

And I ask you to sustain that hope 

I'm not talking about blind optimism 

The kind of hope that just ignores the enormity of the tasks ahead 

Or the road blocks that stand in our path 

I'm not talking about the wishful idealism that allows us 

To just sit on the sidelines or shirk from a fight 

I have always believed that hope is that stubborn thing inside us that insists 

Despite all the evidence to the contrary, 

That something better awaits us 

So long we have the courage to keep reaching 

To keep working 

To keep fighting 

I believe that we can keep the promise of our founding 

The idea that if you are willing to work hard 

It doesn't matter who you are 

Or where you come from 

Or what you look like 

Or where you love 

It doesn't matter whether you are black or white 

Or Hispanic or Asian 

Or Native American 

Or young or old 

Or rich or poor 

Abled, disabled 

Gay or straight 

You can make it here in America 

I believe we can seize this future together 

Because we are not as divided as our politics suggests 

We're not as cynical as the pundits believe 

We are greater than the sum of our individual ambitions 

And we remain more than a collection of red states and blue states 

We are, and forever will be, the United States of America 

And together with your help and God's grace 

We will continue our journey forward and remind the world just why it is 

That we live in the greatest nation on earth 

Thank you, America
