LYRICS:

I’m Dreaming of the day
When I can walk and say
I’m feeling so comfortable
Living in the USA

Crying for Hope
My man it ant no joke

They keep telling me I’m wrong
While you treat me like a threat
This is the place was I born
My Man this is my home

Crying for Hope
My man it ant no joke

People speaking’ lots of words
Saying all the wrong things
I need You as a Allied
But all I see are friends

This ant no real freedom
Even though I have a vote
Our young men keep-on dying
In these streets where there’s no hope

We always talkin’ answers
Those answers never come
We can’t let them run us out
Of the place where we was born

We’re Crying for Hope
My man it ant no joke

We’re Crying for Hope
Let’s march shout and vote
