Hope On The Horizon Lyrics

Dusty roads stretch out, fields lie fallow and bare

Hard to dream when despair hangs thick in the air

Calloused hands idle, as the factory's closed down

Ghost of prosperity, just a whisper in this town

Sun beats down on the porch, but the chairs are all empty

Once filled with laughter, now silent and plenty

The tavern's alive, with the sound of old woes

Drowning sorrows in whiskey, where the bitter wind blows

But we're singing through the struggle, our voices loud and clear

Raising up our glasses, to the dreams that we hold dear

We'll find the strength to stand, come morning's gentle glow

'Cause there's hope on the horizon, where the heartland rivers flow

Mama prays in the kitchen, for a break in the clouds

While Daddy's out back, lost in thought and doubt

The bottle's a temptress, with a siren's sweet call

Promising escape, but it's a free fall

Yet we're singing through the struggle, our voices loud and clear

Raising up our glasses, to the dreams that we hold dear

We'll find the strength to stand, come morning's gentle glow

'Cause there's hope on the horizon, where the heartland rivers flow

In the darkest of nights, we find the brightest of stars

Reminding us all, our dreams aren't that far

We'll rise from the ashes, of these hard-luck tales

With the courage of lions, we will prevail

So we're singing through the struggle, our voices loud and clear

Raising up our glasses, to the dreams that we hold dear

We'll find the strength to stand, come morning's gentle glow

'Cause there's hope on the horizon, where the heartland rivers flow

When the dawn breaks anew, we'll face the day with pride

Leaving behind the night, where our fears reside

With the song of the heartland, our anthem of rebirth

We'll keep walking forward, for all that we're worth
