Still Much Hope



Lately I've been worried about America,
today something changed my mind.
Riding in a Funeral procession in town,
for a very good friend of mine.



What happened help change my mind,
Folks stood tall as we went by.
Cars stop and waited before going on,
could feel tears welling in my eyes.



But I think the thing that got me most,
passing a School with kids at play.
And everyone of these beautiful kids.
folded hand on their knees to pray.



This has put my faith back in America,
and helped me to keep my pride.
For all the wounderful things I've seen,
feel we still have God on our side.



So come on America lets show our color.
there's still hope and time for us.
When we got all these kids praying yet,
believe me there was a hundred plus.
