A New Hope

Five Iron Frenzy

Amy's going back to school today,
Elation, jubilation streams from her face.
Did the halls smell of gunpowder still?
What made the human mind dark enough to kill?

A new hope,
Where is your freedom?
A new hope,
Cast off your burdens.

A darker world lies behind this one.
Cryptic it hides beneath perception.
We all saw it on that day,
Stunned we stood stuttering.
What did the news say?

A new hope,
Where is your freedom?
A new hope,
Cast off your burdens.
A new hope,
Where is your freedom?
A new hope,
Here is your freedom.

Peace
Fills us
By hope we steer
Our dark hearts salvaged.
We live without fear.
