HARBINGER OF HOPE

He's calling from the mountain top
She beckons from the sea
the air's abuzz with messages
on fire to set us free
whispering, speaking, crying, screaming
a call to reason from above
the HARBINGER OF HOPE is reaching
to us with all his love

The din of doom is echoing
and something's got to give
our fear has choked out all the reason
to live and just let live
we're so afraid the next in line
will get more than his share
we find it quite impossible
to show we really care

He's inside you..She's inside me
it's us collectively
the HARBINGER OF HOPE has power and love
to set us free

But give and care and share we must
if freedom is our choice
to join our hands in faithfulness
and sing out with one voice
to loose ourselves in service
will end our lonely strife
in each of us the only hope
to bring us back to life

He's inside you..She's inside me
it's us collectively
the HARBINGER OF HOPE has power and love
to set us free
