Like
crystal crashing on a stone floor
All the plans lie shattered now
But last shards
tempered in a healing fire
Can take another shape
somehow
People say that it's too late now
The time to change
has come and gone
But I believe there is hope now
Hope to change and carry on,
carry on
Behind wired fences and
by a concrete wall
Among the rubble
flowers still thriving
They stretch their heads up
to the sunlight
Determ ined always to survive
People say that it's too late now,
the time to change
has come and gone
But I believe there is hope now,
hope to change and carry on,
carry on
The preacher is quick to
quote the Bible
But very slow to change his heart
And words that should
bring us together
Are used to keep us all apart
People say that it's too late now
The time to change
has come and gone
But I believe there is hope now,
hope to change and carry on,
and carry on.
History books are filled with stories
That tell us when, but never why
An d though we can't
find all the answers
We still can keep the hope alive
People say that it's too late now,
the time to change
has come and gone
But I believe there is hope now,
hope to change and carry on,
carry on
But I believe there is hope now,
hope to change and carry on,
and carry on.
