Hope
stefan Lyrics

We let them tell us what to do
We often follow others’ directions and let them influence our decisions.

We live to die for worthy things
We exist with the goal of dying for meaningful causes.

We promised we would never lose our pride
We vowed not to give up our sense of self-respect.

Your word's worth nothing if you lie
A person's reputation and trustworthiness are meaningless if they are dishonest.

We're standing tall and looking up, our Father would be proud
We are confident in ourselves and know that our actions would make our ancestors proud.

And I'm happy to be working my own ground
We are content with the work we have done on ourselves and our accomplishments.

We'll be the last ones breathing here
We won't give up and will survive no matter what happens.

Hey, sing your heart out boy For all the people great and small Oh, when all else is lost The future still remains our own
We encourage everyone to express themselves for the benefit of all, even if everything else has failed. Nonetheless, the future is something we can still control and shape.

We're taught that we were born to lose
We're indoctrinated to believe that we are destined to be unsuccessful in life.

Don't waste your breath, it's time to choose
There's no sense in wasting energy talking about something when it's time to take action and make a decision.

Everyday they try to turn it into lies
Each day, people attempt to make us believe falsehoods to manipulate us.

No matter what they try, tearing up our lives I know we will always rise
Despite others' attempts to tear us down, we will always find a way to stand up.

I hope, I hope, I hope I hope, I hope I hope, I hope, I hope I hope, I hope
The repeated phrase of 'I hope' encapsulates the singer's desire for a better future and their optimism that things will turn out well.

The future still remains our own
Despite the difficulties of the present, we can still determine our future and make it our own.
