Call Upon Hope I cast a net, into the sea, I cast a net to catch some dreams; The sea wouldn’t let me free, So I cast a net to catch some dreams; I tried to grasp, the light of the sun, I tried to shine, like the moon; Although the moon, lies in heaven, I tried to shine, like the moon; The sun set me ablaze, And the moon, was nothing but dust; I was looked upon, with an envious gaze, Borne by the sons of lust; When nations left my side, And hate was given birth; I spread my arms wide, And I conquered the earth; Now I lift my head with pride, And each heart is bound by my rope; Nations walk by my side, After all I am Hope.
