I see hope deferred Homeless in the dirt Choking on the violence Of our every stifled word I see hope deferred Hiding in the back row With no concept of worth A life spent in the shadows I see hope deferred Longing for eternal release Another **** up year Struggling in the streets I see hope deferred In every motherless child Hanging on to a bad cough Hearts sick with denial Can you hear hope deferred Calling out for assistance? Would you bridge the gap Or stand deterred by the distance? I know hope deferred Thick chains around the soul Constantly on the run From the noise between my skull I see hope deferred Traded in for hope revised Pull off your skeleton clothes Put on the cloak of a bride I see hope deferred Overcome by recovery I'm taken back by mercy And the love which covers me I know hope deferred Will be gradually displaced With the venom in our veins Through a sure movement of grace I see hope deferred Finally removed from this place The nations rest in God Sunlight softly warming their face

Hope Deferred (Hope Revised)
I see hope deferred Homeless in the dirt Choking on the violence Of our every stifled word I see hope deferred Hiding in the back row With no concept of worth A life spent in the shadows I see hope deferred Longing for eternal release Another **** up year Struggling in the streets I see hope deferred In every motherless child Hanging on to a bad cough Hearts sick with denial Can you hear hope deferred Calling out for assistance? Would you bridge the gap Or stand deterred by the distance? I know hope deferred Thick chains around the soul Constantly on the run From the noise between my skull I see hope deferred Traded in for hope revised Pull off your skeleton clothes Put on the cloak of a bride I see hope deferred Overcome by recovery I'm taken back by mercy And the love which covers me I know hope deferred Will be gradually displaced With the venom in our veins Through a sure movement of grace I see hope deferred Finally removed from this place The nations rest in God Sunlight softly warming their face
