River of Hope Lyrics

They came down from the mountains
Poured from the sea
They came to cross the border
The river of misery
The skies that burn so brightly
Your lives are left far behind
The future's left in the hand of god
This road that runs so blind
The children's eyes show confusión
Blinded by cause for despair
There's no place you can hide anywhere
You know all the answers
Heard them before
Now you live for today
Believing no more

Silently, you call with your tears
Silently, you call with your tears
River of hope, river of pain and misery

Waiting for tomorrow
The hope that it may bring
A test that finds the soul so Deep
The wind beneath your wing
Running from the firing line
The blood of ones you knew
What was the call.... A call for mercy
What it was would never do
The children's eyes show confusión
Blinded by cause for despair
There's no place you can hide anywhere
You know all the answers
Heard them before
Now you live for today
Believing no more
Silently, you call with your tears
Silently, you call with your tears
The deafness of man it now defies
The prize of war can never be found
River of hope, river of pain and misery
Can your will now survive, can you ever trust again

Your lives are now forgotten
A hundred years are gone
Remembrance of the sacrifice
The hate will always be strong

River of hope, river of pain and misery
Can your will now survive, can you ever trust again
River of hope, river of pain and misery
Take me home take me back to my destiny
