Crosses
Fort Hope Lyrics

Just give up on the keys that we sold
We should abandon the things that we have given away.

Cause I've got a cut from the mould
I have been damaged by my past.

We forgot the crosses you foretold
We have ignored the warnings that you gave us.

Now I may pick them up
I am ready to act on the things that I have neglected.

I know that the answers and tone
I have a sense of what the solution might be.

Just reeks of the cynics and clones
But my idea is tainted by the negative influence of others.

But if we tear the kings
If we remove the leaders who hold us back,

And queens from their thrones
And take away the power they hold over us,

This night may pick up
We can create a better future for ourselves.

So call off these lyrics and fight
We need to take action rather than just talking about our problems.

The people will sing it tonight
We can inspire others to join us.

Their hearts are the engines for their bones
The passion they feel will drive them towards change.

And this love your love is all I need
The support and encouragement of others is what keeps me going.

It's the reason I exist
I am driven by my desire for positive change.

The only blood that I can bleed
My passion and determination are what fuel me.

They'll drip dry our hopes
Our dreams and aspirations may be crushed,

But we won't be afraid
But we will not let that discourage us from pursuing our goals.

For as long as there's good, there's bad
There will always be both negative and positive aspects of life.

And it's hurtful and cruel
Even in the face of negativity and hardship.

But the truth always finds a way
It is important to stay true to oneself and push through adversity.

To piece through the puzzles untold
We need to unravel the mysteries of our situation.

Swift shovel through the lies
We must dig deep and uproot the falsehoods that hold us back.

That you have told i may take them up
We must take responsibility for our past mistakes and learn from them.

Smooth as the stones that we throw
Our actions must be deliberate and strategic in order to make an impact.

Skim through the puddles way below
We must navigate the obstacles in our way with grace and agility.

Slick shuffle through the lies
We will need to be clever and cunning in order to succeed.

As they are thrown i may pick them up
We must be ready to address the challenges that come our way.

Given the people we know
Considering the individuals we are surrounded by,

It's hard to believe it's so
It can be difficult to trust that positive change is possible.

Why have the good ones got too old?
Why have those who are most virtuous and wise passed on?

The good ones are not too old
But we must remember that their ideals and beliefs live on.

And we won't be afraid
We have the courage and resilience to face the challenges ahead.

For as long as there's good there's bad
The presence of negativity will not deter us from seeking positivity.

But the truth always finds a way oh
We must stay true to our principles, even when it is difficult.
