about

Though I am vehemently anti war, I do feel for the men
and woman soldiers who are ultimately the victims in these power games played by our nation's leaders.

lyrics

Keepin’ Some Hope

When chaos of war surrounds you
You wonder how you’ll survive
The light of the dawn astounds you
When any new day arrives
Just keepin’ some hope............ Just keepin’ some hope
Just keepin’ some hope alive
Just keepin’ some hope.............Just keepin’ some hope
Just keepin’ some hope alive

So why did they send you out here
Where blood’s flowing just like wine
The reasons were not made veryc lear
For putting our lives on the line
Just keepin’ some hope............ Just keepin’ some hope
Just keepin’ some hope alive
Just keepin’ some hope.............Just keepin’ some hope
Just keepin’ some hope alive

Right from the first, got caught in the worst of it........playing the game to stay alive
Realities show... mortalitie’s grow, ......while sanity’s trying to survive

You do what you do to make it through
And wonder what’s truth and lies
Your enemies sight has shakin’ you
When you see yourself in his eyes
Just keepin’ some hope............ Just keepin’ some hope
Just keepin’ some hope alive
Just keepin’ some hope.............Just keepin’ some hope
Just keepin’ some hope alive
