Fat Freddy's Drop - Hope lyrics

rate me

*** BOATS version ***

(alternate version below)

Let your love flow down

Let it fall to the ground

Therein lies the roots

Reaching for the stream

All I wanna do

Is keep on reaching through

Keep on reaching through

To the river wide and strong

It won't take long

We can all go together

If we just hold on

A new generation

And a brand new age

I wanna fall like rain

On burning pages

Rise from the ashes

Like a phoenix sun

Learning to flow

Searching for love

You know that I can't get enough of

Get enough of that hope

Oooh oooh oooh

Hope

Hope

Hope, yeah

Hope, yeah yeah

Hope

Hope, hey eh

I want my child to see the beauty of this place

To walk from the mountains, to the sea

Hope

Hope, yeah

Hope, yeah yeah

Hope, yeah yeah

Hope, hope... yeah, yeah

You know that I can't get enough of

Get enough of that hope

Oooh oooh

Hope

Oooh, yeah

Hope

Oooh oooh

Hope

Yeah eh

You know that I can't get enough of (x4)

I wanna promise you

Hope for a generation (x2)

I wanna promise you

*** Alternate Version ***

Hope for a generation

Just beyond my reach

Not beyond my site

Hope for a generation X6

I see it singing 'Hope for a generation'

Hope for a generation

I see it singing 'Hope for a generation' x8

I want to drip like honey from the honey bee

Walk from the river down to the sea

Fly through the face of a thundercloud

Break down

Down on the people that won't allow

Not gonna let them keep me

Not gonna let them hold me

Not gonna let them tempt me, no

A love for music x 2

The music is me

The music is you

The music can be

Something we do

The music good

And the music right

Music can stand strong

Right through the night and

Music can hold you

And music can keep you

Safe from harm in her beautiful arms

Music is you

The thing we do

It's the thing we do x2

It's the thing we do to get me through x (however many)
