The train they call Hope
me lyrics Ai the rest
https://soundclick.com/song/15240634
After the civil war, freedom lay in only one direction
[intro]
[verse 1]
They gave their lives for others,
war ripped the country apart.
blue an' grey, black versus white
hate just tore out it's heart
[verse 2]
All changed but it was the same
defeat hidden behind a veil of fear
Rights written on a piece of paper
didn't entitle you to come near
[chorus]
It's full of people gettin' away
from hate, the hangin' rope
The bitterness of the grey
on the train, they call Hope
[verse 3]
Station's the chain's last link,
break that, means another life
A train goin' North to freedom,
leaves behind hatred an' strife.
[bridge]
Everythin' in two battered cases
a new world in different places.
Chance for children to grow
the pain they'll never know
[chorus]
It's full of people gettin' away
from hate, the hangin' rope
The bitterness of the grey
on the train, they call Hope
[outro]
The rails beat out a prayer,
another mile they'll be free
The liberty men died for,
for those they'll never see.

Now I really like this one! It’s round, the rhymes are good and the story you tell (hand how you tell it) has a lot of energy and a nice flow. Very good!0

Splendid lyric, war, that machine that feeds the powerful with the dead, then they say there's no cannibalism in today's society.
Very beautiful version.
