Between The Cracks

[G]Hope grows between cracks in the asphalt
In the [Em7]downtown ghetto streets that contour
The g[C]overnment housing intentions of my [G]heart
And n[G]o one notices the daisies don't care
About [Em7]gang related violence
As long as they get enough [C]air and water and sun
They're all just f[D]ine

[Em7]Who would've thought it but life is finding a w[G]ay
Through this wasteland of cynics, concrete, and p[D]ain
There's a m[Em7]an down here somewhere between
The [G]Saturday cartoons and the dirty magazines
He's r[D]aising the dead in the graveyards
Where [C]we've laid down our dreams
His name is [G]Hope

[G]Hope stands high on the fifteenth floor
On a C[Em7]hristmas tree perched about the ledge of a fortress
Of [C]steel that's trying too hard to be somebody's [G]home
As it sees my attention from I-85 though the th[Em7]rows of the day

Were still writhing inside
I [C]lifted my head as I drove home that night and knew
[D]Everything was gonna be fine

[Em7]Who would've thought it but life is finding a w[G]ay
Through this wasteland of cynics, concrete, and p[D]ain
There's a m[Em7]an down here not worried or afraid
That some p[G]olitician forgot all the promises he made
And he's r[D]aising the dead in the graveyards
Where [C]we've laid down our dreams
His name is H[G]ope

[G]Can you hear him outside he's been singing all night
He's saying [Em7]when you gonna come out from behind
These [C]paper thin walls, your cardboard box re[D]alities

[Em7]Who would've thought it but life is finding a w[G]ay
Through this wasteland of cynics, concrete, and p[D]ain
There's a m[Em7]an down here not worried or afraid
That some p[G]olitician forgot all the promises he made
And he's r[D]aising the dreams in the graveyards
Where [C]we've laid down our DEAD
His name is H[G]ope
