HEY - HEY //
Say, is it really true, //
That the flame of hope has grown? //
That the spirit has changed, //
That the few no longer stand alone?
Say, is it really true, //
That the thought of war's lost its meaning? //
That self-made devils died, //
The idols of wealth and power are sinking?
The coldest nights finally followed by dawn, //
An outburst of light, //
That cures the blind. //
A strong conviction has evolved in time, //
That life demands deeds we must define.
Say, is it really true, //
That once buried virtues now arise? //
That the being itself //
No longer asks for a disguise?
A power that's been neglected, denied, //
Now blossoms and grows, calls out the best. //
At last the change of an era has come, //
But there won't be much time to rest.
Say, is this the force I feel within //
Heart and mind the truth? //
Or am I deceived again, painfully abused? //
Say, is it really true, //
That the flame of hope has grown? //
Or am I deceived again, painfully abused?
