River Of Hope by Big Country
High above the forest in an unseen place
Where the coluds will gather on another race
In the dungeon depths of an unknown cave
There's a stream that springs with a world to save
And it gathers up strength as it rolls along
And it gathers up hope for everyone
But it runs to plains where the farmlands weep
Through the brand new gardens where rich men sleep
I'm gonna find it, I'm gonna prove it
And show the whole damned world how to use it
When I find it, when I prove it
I know that some damned fool is gonna lose it
For it's the river of hope, from the pool of tears
It's the river of hope, it's the river we lost for years
Past the chemical plant where the junk flows in
By the nuclear project where the children swim
Under bridges in a city where the bodies float
And the summer smell keeps the flies remote
I'm gonna find it, I'm gonna prove it
And show the whole damned world how to use it
When I find it, when I prove it
