Hope in the next room
When living starts to get you down
Desperation all around
Lost inside your situation
Forgotten by your mother nation
Then listen to me now, let me call this out
Try to lift your head there can be no doubt
There is hope in the next room
If anger is your bed at night
You need food without a fight
Waiting just to learn your fate
Forgotten by a nation state
If everyone could push start to open the door
And every waking day push a little bit more
There is hope in the next room
This we can do
Know that it’s true
There is hope in the next room
So when is enough enough?
When will people rise above?
Will dignity and peace become
Human rights for everyone?
Well I can say it starts when you lean on that door
And every time we push it will open some more
There is hope in the next room
There is hope, there is hope
This we can do
Know that it’s true
There is hope in the next room
