Toni Childs - House of Hope lyrics

children laugh

children cry

they're the future of our time

will they hold us to blame

for all the things we've turned away

I don't like what I see now

I don't like where we're going

I don't like it, no

you and I, we're getting older now

you and I, who will show them

if we don't show them how

I want to know is it true

is there a house of hope for me and you

I want to know is it true

is there a house of hope for me and you

children laugh

children cry

they're the ones who will survive

will they know what we've sold

nature's gift we've turned for gold

I don't like what I see now

in my life, what I see now

I don't like where we're going

I don't like it, no

you and I, we're getting older now

you and I, who will show them

if we don't show them how

in this house of hope

in this house of hope

in this house of hope

you and I, we're getting older now

you and I, who will show them if we

don't show them how
