Inaugural Anthem--Hope is Soaring High

Post by Lightning Rod » January 17th, 2009, 4:54 pm

This is a song that I think is appropriate for this time in history
we recorded it in the early 1970's
but I think it fits

Hope is Soaring High Once More

listen to it here:

Lyrics by Bambi Buckle
Music by Barry Gremillion
performed by The Joy Urchins


In my selfish mind
I sacrificed your feelings
for a shallow second of
pleasure for my pride

We've got to start all over again

Come to me now
for I want you to know
there are no secrets that
we have to show
we have stripped off the power
of ego and pride
and we're climbing up the tower of love
there is no need to hide

Hope is soaring high once more
we have found what we are loving for

have you ever dreamed
have you ever dreamed
have you ever seen the sun so bright?

bring to us the minds and eyes
and focus on our love, and music
and leave all the rest behind
gonna leave all the rest behind

Everything has new dimension
in my mind
hope is soaring high once more
we have found what we are loving for

over yonder
over the new horizon
a giant hitherto undreamt of sun
is starting to take us away
starting to take us away

we are on the road
heading straight for the
center of the sun
straight into the center of the sun
straight into the center of the sun.....

Hope is soaring high once more
we have found what we are loving for.

just wondering what that is)
