I will carry the hope, even when the hope is gone
Though I’m wary and broke, someone’s gonna hear my song
Don’t you bury the paddle, we’re gonna need it for rowing on
Let’s give this world a rattle, all my people come along
Drip by drip, the water starts to rise
Click by click, I can see it in your eyes
As greenland turns to iceland, iceland forever green
The slipping of a glacier, drifting out to sea
How’m I spose’ to walk with all this uncertainty
I will carry the hope, even when the hope is gone
Though I’m wary and broke, someone’s gonna hear my song
Don’t you bury the paddle, we’re gonna need it for rowing on
Let’s give this world a rattle, all my people come along
Crack by crack, the land is going dry
With the children on her back, the mother starts to cry
It’s hard to find an answer, when the kids are asking
There’s no water in the river, not a cloud in the sky
Heavy is the feeling like a bird that cannot fly
I will carry the hope, even when the hope is gone
Though I’m wary and broke, someone’s gonna hear my song
Don’t you bury the paddle, we’re gonna need it for rowing on
Let’s give this world a rattle, all my people come along
Come Along x 4
Step by step, it’s the sound of walking home
We grieved and we wept, we could feel it in our bones
I hear it in the distance, voices that I’ve known
The sound of change a’ coming, like water over stone
Weightless is the feeling, to be sure I’m not alone
I will carry the hope, even when the hope is gone
Though I’m wary and broke, someone’s gonna hear my song
Don’t you bury the paddle, we’re gonna need it for rowing on
Let’s give this world a rattle, all my people come along
