Hopeful Hearts (by Judy Kass & Sloan Wainwright)
How long is too long to hang on to trouble
When trouble’s been handed to you
We take it on without even thinking
Of all the harm it can do
Now we’re holding the bag, weighted down, spilling over
With woes of this torn apart world
Feeling scared by the voices of leaders and strangers
Whose actions scream louder than words
Steadfast and strong
Our hopeful hearts carry on
Everyone plays a part in this puzzle
With time running out on us fast
I don’t want to dump this mess on our children
I want their future to last
Now I’m looking inside at all we hold dear
On a dark edge of no return
All the ways that we pray that we live in our bodies
The ways that we love and we learn
Steadfast and strong
Our hopeful hearts carry on
How long is too long to hang on to trouble
When this trouble’s danger is clear
Can we decide to let go of the struggle
Let go of the anger, let go of the fear
Steadfast and strong
Our hopeful hearts carry on
Steadfast and strong
Our hopeful hearts carry on
