lyrics

I did my giving.
Did you get it?
It looks like you on the news,
Crying,
Holding a baby.
It's hard sometimes to know who is who.

I sent you a letter.
Did you read it?
I saw you on the news,
Speaking,
Stirring emotions,
But what could you really do?

What do you tell your children about hope?

I am awake lying
With the one I love,
And if you're lucky, you're still on the news,
Dreaming,
Dreaming of mercy.
But I'm here, and you're there, so what can I do?

What do I tell my children about hope?

I sent you for a miracle.
Did you get it?
It looks like you on the news,
Quiet,
Holding your baby.
It's hard to tell if you're fighting or if you are through.

What can you tell your children about hope?
