A Steady Hope Lyrics

There's a young man in the desert trying to quench a thirst

Looking for answers, trying to find some worth

In a world that doesn't know him, doesn't know anyone

For most it was barren and death on the land

But he dreamed of a life for the dirt in his hands

He looks over his shoulder, he ain't going home

It's a hard thing to fathom, a steady hope

It's not easy to ask for the dirt beneath the feet

Of villager's already struggling to eat

But there's light in that grave, gonna roll back the stone

Salvation, it lays like a mother in wait

For the sound of her children to rise up again

And the veins run deep, how wild they roam

In secret they weave, like honeycomb

Now they sing life has found us again

Rivers teem and flow into streams as we stand together

A cord that's hard to break, nothing lasts forever

But forever it can wait

Decades have gone and millions stand strong

On a green Eastern African plain

From famine and toil, to grain by the ton

See's families finally sustained

When asked what he wants, the man lifts up his hands

And cries, just give me the world

There's a canvas to paint in deep shades of change

Just give me the world

Just give me the world

Just give me the world
