Letra de When Hope Goes (From "The Spitfire Grill" Original Cast Recording)
Eight years old with a flag in my hand Step for step with the big marching band Through the streets, picket fence, whitewash white Every house perfect trim, painted brightLike Eli, we were brave There was a world to save The band struck up a song Gilead marched alongI can see it still Everyone in town Walking up that hill Waiting for the bus Waving him goodbye Part of all of usBowed my head, said my prayers every night Eli, please, save the world, set it right Folded hands, holding hope like a prayer Four years pass, fingers part, nothing thereWhen hope goes, sidewalks crack, whitewash fades Music stops, empty streets, no parades When hope goes, fences sag, flagpoles rust Paint peels, broken wheels, gather dust When hope goes, hearts closeEight years old with a flag in my hand Step for step with the big marching band Everyone in town, walking up that hill Waiting for the bus, we are waiting still
