lyrics

Boots on the ground on Capital Hill
Thick choking smoke that searchlights can't kill
In black hoodies and bandanas like rats from a cage
They run toward flashing badges, water cannons, and barricades

Keep the hope machine running
Keep that big love coming
Pass it on...pass it on

I see hate answered with hate - violence with violence
An eye for an eye - cries for help with silence
While poison tongues spit lies on the nightmare news
I'm knocked to my knees gasping for the air of truth

Keep the hope machine running
Keep that big love coming
Pass it on...pass it on

Go on and preach to the classroom, the nightclub, the church pews
Shout it through a bullhorn but that don't make it true
"We are how we treat each other and nothing more"
Tattoo that over your heart - carve it in the White House door

Keep the hope machine running
Keep that big love coming
Pass it on...pass it on

You can stare spellbound like narcissus in the shattered mirror's shine
Or try to see through another's eyes
Ain't it easy to justify - easy to keep score
Until the face on the wanted poster looks a lot like yours?

Keep the hope machine running
Keep that big love coming
Pass it on...pass it on

The struggle isn't to lose or win
But to know the love that's deeper than skin on skin
Not for power or profit or empty show
But to reach you down deep where propaganda can't go

Keep the hope machine running
Keep that big love coming
Keep the hope machine running
Keep your big love coming
Pass it on...pass it on
Pass it on...pass it on
