Hoping Harder

0:00 / —:—

Hope can be lazy - or it can be fierce.

Hoping Harder isn’t blind optimism: it’s defiant

commitment. From a distant view of a wounded Earth to the

hands of a child who will inherit it, the song traces our

responsibility to this one garden we all share.

It calls on us not just to wish for change, but to live it -

to hope harder, work harder, and care more deeply.

This is an anthem for anyone who chooses not to give up,

on life, on others, or on the planet that carries us all.

The light is out

frozen, my chamber

I must confess

in silence I fell

The earth below

turquoise and amber

now all is night

no stories to tell


Hoping, hoping harder

use that open door

make responding smarter

caring, caring more


My child of light

of stardust from death

and I in hide

not worthy of breath

So who am I?

A ruler of kings?

To let it die

deny you your wings?


refrain


II: Handa Seranda :II

To pass it on

life in the garden

the soil, the souls

don't let them harden

Hold it, hold it high

yeah


refrain


Working, working harder

use that open door

make responding smarter

caring, caring more

more, more, more, more
