"Hope For Tomorrow"

This is one of my best 1990s songs. I always planned to record it, but never got around to it. Someday…

I’ve been in a country mood today, so I started making my way through Rolling Stone’s list of “50 Country Albums Every Rock Fan Should Own.”

Current listening: John Anderson, All the People Are Talkin’

Hope For Tomorrow

© 1996 Brian Hutzell

There was a party; I think it was mine

Thousands of people, and I know there was wine

Conversation turned to the lies we’ve learned and the lines we’ve listened to

There was a mansion as big as a town

Somebody gave me a ring they had found

The conversation stopped as I unveiled the plot, and no one spoke till I was through

This is your hope for tomorrow

Young boy, young girl

Hope for tomorrow

Dream big for the sake of the world

Live long and prosper

Stand tall

Don’t lose your hope for tomorrow in the problems of today

Summer is over; my tan starts to fade

Time to consider the progress we’ve made

The microscopic past is everyday surpassed by children on their way to school

This is your hope for tomorrow

Young boy, young girl

Hope for tomorrow

Dream big for the sake of the world

Live long and prosper

Stand tall

Don’t lose your hope for tomorrow in the problems of today

And then without a peep, I found myself asleep

And every dream I had I've tried to keep

Finally recognize promise in their eyes

I long suspected it was true

This is your hope for tomorrow

Young boy, young girl

Hope for tomorrow

Dream big for the sake of the world

Live long and prosper

Stand tall

Don’t lose your hope for tomorrow in the problems of today

“Leap”
