Eleanor McEvoy — Easy To Lose Hope lyrics

Lyrics

My home town's dear to meit's always in my sight
(but) my city's shadows walk around in broad daylight
They'll even shoot a woman down for what she writes
So now you pay for civil liberty with life
So hard it's easy to lose hope for everyone
So bad it's easier to never take it on But we can't give up And we can't lose hope
And we cannot hide away
We can overcome
But we must be strong
And we must not be afraid
Ii You must not ever stop the search for peace within
Cause if you find itthere's no better prize to win
In losing peace of mind you're losing everything
Don't draw away from it whatever shape you're in So hard it's easy to lose hope for everyone
So bad it's easier to never take it on But we can't give up And we can't lose hope
And we cannot hide away
We can overcome
But we must be strong
And we must not be afraid
Iii
With all our songs and stories we have brushed aside
The very nature of a beast we tried to hide
With all the ugliness this city has to fight
How could we leave it to a mother and a wife?
So hard it's easy to lose hope for everyone
So bad it's easier to never take it on But we can't give up And we can't lose hope
And we cannot hide away
We can overcome
But we must be strong
And we must not be afraid
We must not be afraid
We must not be afraid
But we can't give up And we can't lose hope
And we cannot hide away
We can overcome
But we must be strong
And we must not be We must not be afraid
We must not be afraid
