Lyrics Chris Jamison – Faith Hope Love

It’s the same story, different day
Clearly this problem just won’t go away
We need less fights in streets and more fights for peace
In this war against hate, but

It’s just one thing after another
One more life that is lost
Just one more heart breakin’ story
When will this nightmare be gone?
It’s just one less brother or sister
One less daughter or son
Just one less father or mother
When will this nightmare be gone?

Keep faith, have hope, give love
Keep faith, have hope, give love
Fight for the life that’s been taken
And for the life that’s yet to come
Keep faith, have hope, give love

Give love…

Every action you take, every word you speak
Could change this world of hurt into one of healing
All eyes on TV, showing bloody scenes of the damage that’s been done
Can’t let fear overcome, ’cause then they’ve won

Just one thing after another
One more life that is lost
Just one more heart breakin’ story
When will this nightmare be gone?
It’s just one less brother or sister
One less daughter or son
Just one less father or mother

Keep faith, have hope, give love
Keep faith, have hope, give love
Fight for the life that’s been taken
And for the life that’s yet to come
Keep faith, have hope, give love

Flash forward twenty years
No time could wipe away the tears
Our kids — they learn to read
Will they be ashamed of their history
Oh, don’t make them ashamed of their history

Keep faith, have hope, give love
Keep faith, have hope, give love
Fight for the life that’s been taken
And for the life that’s yet to come
Keep faith, have hope, give love
…
