towns are burnin as blood fills the square prayers half spoken are shouted in the air cause hope is lost soldiers are cryin holdin pictures of their kin another face they ll show you never seen again cause hope is lost but i heard them say don t you worry about today cause the battle rages on and we must stay strong when hope gets lost but i looked around and saw my brother layin there on the ground tear in his eye that letter to my mother never would be found his hope was lost but i heard them say don t you worry about me just tell mama i done good i held on for all i could but hope got lost when hope got lost
