A Protest for Hope

What if I told you six in ten people don’t have a house in Toronto What if I told you some of us live on the ground What if I told you that we need walls around us Would you listen? What if I told you we don’t have privacy That we need more than a tent or a church for shelter What if I told you we need more hope, motivation, and endurance Would you listen? We all have had doors closing, possibilities lost Our lives have been shaken Our dreams all gone But what if I told you there's still hope? What if I told you walls are building ‘round Our lives are looking up We can still have faith But yet, it's coming; be patient, young one Now that morning is near.
