Some Hope
Some hope for an end to what they're going through
Some hope for a better world
Some hope for a second chance at something new
Another tale another place another girl
Some hope to get out from behind the bars
Some hope for something left to lose
Some hope for a live that isn't quite so hard
A little food a little heat a pair of shoes
Some hope for eternity
Some hope the end is soon
Some hope for nothing
Some hope for the moon
Some hope for the sun to chase the clouds away
Some hope for the rain to come
Some hope for another shot on another day
A longer game a smaller share a bigger gun
| RG thoughts: | One of the last songs to recorded for the album, it is a wonderful memory for me; none of the musicians had heard the song before; I had no idea what to do with it but as soon as I started jamming with Randall, Joe and Eric, it defined, and refined itself, quickly. The album is called 'Snapshot' because it was done very rapidly; hardly any of the musicians that came to the studio had a clue what the songs were going to be and yet all played and had fun - that mysterious quality that is most apparent when it is absent. I like the ambiguity of the title - is it optimistic or pessimistic? I'll opt for the former myself. |
