The Power That Hope Brings Video (MV)

Hope is hard to come by
Hope is hard to see
A bird facing extinction
Few and far between
War wipes out its habitat
Injustice steals its eggs
Corruption starves its offspring
Oppression makes it scared
But then some eager birder hears its song somewhere remote
Through binoculars they see distinctive markings on its throat
And word gets out that hope's here
Not every bird was killed
And nothing much has changed so far
But we now have faith that it will
And we're on our way with a smiling face
And a sense of change that we'll be okay
We're on our way with a smiling face
And a sense of change that we'll be okay
That's the power that hope brings
That's the power that hope brings
And sometimes in our own lives we might struggle every day
To keep that little bird alive, so much gets in the way
Depression and addiction, stresses and affliction
Illness and bereavement, loneliness and disagreement
But hope flies in the distance briefly once a while
A day that turned out better, a new love in our lives
A light on the horizon, a stranger gives a smile
Our striker scores a wonder goal, a mad dictator dies
And we're on our way with a smiling face
And a sense of change that we'll be okay
We're on our way with a smiling face
And a sense of change that we'll be okay
That's the power that hope brings
That's the power that hope brings
Can you feel it?
And you can be it
Cos we give each other hope and the power that hope brings
Can you feel it?
And you can be it cos we give each other hope
Sunrise in Kibera
Slum rises at dawn
You'd think no hope could dwell here
You'd think that and be wrong
Cos hope is all they have here
That and not much more
That's why they've even come here
It's better than where they were before
Pillion on a motorbike weaving through the mess
But ready for his office job and very smartly dressed
Hope tucked in his rucksack
The bird that's not yet flown
The suit and shoes are borrowed but the hope is all his own
And we're on our way with a smiling face
And a sense of change that we'll be okay
We're on our way with a smiling face
And a sense of change that we'll be okay
That's the power that hope brings
That's the power that hope brings
Can you feel it?
And you can be it
Cos we give each other hope and the power that hope brings
Can you feel it?
And you can be it
Cos we give each other hope and the power that hope brings
Can you feel it?
And you can be it
Cos we give each other hope and the power that hope brings
Can you feel it?
And you can be it
Cos we give each other hope and the power that hope brings
Hope brings
It's the power that hope brings
Cos we give each other hope and the power that hope brings
Hope brings
It's the power that hope brings
Cos we give each other hope
And we're on our way with a smiling face
And a sense of change that we'll be okay
