I know we'll never see
The trees that used to be
Blanketing Ohio
The panther and the Iroquois
And geese that used to fly
And blacken autumn skies
South across Ohio
South towards Mexico
Not long ago
CHORUS:
Gives me Hope Against Hope
Hope Against Hope
Hope Against Hope
Hope Against Hope
I know that you and I
Will never spark prairie fires
Or walk to Oregon
But we still soldier on and on
To take a hopeless stand
On wild Dakota land
After you and me
The Snake and Colorado will run free
CHORUS:
Montana blue
Illinois gold and green
Tears from your eyes
I don't want to fight
But I can't sleep
Hope Against Hope
