The earth is shaking under siege
And every breath will meet its fate
Still we hunger for a moment of freedom
Even though the hour is late

I find hope and it gives me rest
I find hope in a beating chest
I find hope in what eyes don't see
I find hope in your hate for me
Have no fear when the waters rise
We can conquer this great divide

When every eye is on the fortune
It can only breed contempt
They say blood is thicker than oceans
Still we box our brothers in

I find hope and it gives me rest
I find hope in a beating chest
I find hope in what eyes don't see
I find hope in your hate for me
Have no fear when the waters rise
We can conquer this great divide

Whoa, ooo, ooo, ooo
Whoa, ooo, ooo, ooo
Whoa, ooo, ooo, ooo
And we're gone
And we're gone
And we're holding on
And we're holding on
And we're holding on

I find hope and it gives me rest
I find hope in a beating chest
I find hope in what eyes don't see
I find hope in your hate for me
Have no fear
Have no fear when the waters rise
We can conquer this great divide

Whoa, ooo, ooo, ooo
Whoa, ooo, ooo, ooo
Whoa, ooo, ooo, ooo
First time to join Music Monday. For this week, I give you a song from my most favorite band, Hanson. A song they wrote in support for the HIV/AIDS stricken people in Africa. Seeing the video of them with the kids from Africa makes me happy to be one of their fans. Despite their duties as sons to their parents, husbands to their wives, and fathers to their children, they still take the time to help people in Africa. Just a year ago they launched "The Walk," wherein they walk barefooted in the streets to help African kids gets shoes.

The song itself is very powerful. I especially loved the chorus part. Truly, we can conquer this great divide, if only we could reach out and help each other.
