I Make Love To HopeI make love to hope
Hoping that when a kid runs in this school to make gun smoke
That the trigger says no
That the dope dealer says no
That the misled little girl says no
That color lines become so blind
it erases bad timesI make love to hope
That suicide bombers say no
That dictators say no
That super powers say no
That we understand that we can’t use God’s words to change folks
Regardless of the way you spell it God says no
Jesus says no
Allah says no
Budda says no
Tired people say noI make love to hope
That you don’t have to stab folks in the back to cope
That anything is possible
If you believe it to be so
That good men live
That honest women live
That we both can raise our kids
Without separate homesI make love to hope
I just wonder why you don’t
