Our Generation (The Hope Of the World) - John Legend
Hope of the world is
in our generation
It's all left up to us to
change this present situation
Take caution from our elders
don't make the same mistake
Let's fill the world with love
and get rid of all the hate
Our elders taught us one
thing but practice another
Just look what happened
to the Indian and the brother
Hope of the world is
in our generation
It's all left up to us to
change this present situation
Our leaders make us fight
and we don't know what for
If they want people
killed let them fight the war
It's gotta end somewhere
this killing's got to cease
If no one were to fight
we'd all live in peace
Our generation
It's all left up to us
Our generation
Let's do just what we must
And straighten it out
Gotta straighten it out
Straighten it out
Yeahhh we gon' straighten
it out yeahh
As long as there's a you
there's a better me
It's why we're together and
stronger than they
ever thought
it could be
A world motherless
can health care cover this
A love for all people
no matter what the culture is
Our generation is makin
huge strides
A self empowering movement
that's on the rise
The more the door is
open the more the youth can see
a fair chance means
a greater opportunity
To have a brighter
future deeper insight
Work hard to be anything
you want in life
It's what it's all
about the longevity
Educated enough to
know what's ahead of me
Need to straighten it
out seek and you'll find
they can cage your
body but not your mind
We lay it all on the line
in the struggle
We grew but together
here's what we gotta do
Our generation
It's all left up to us
Our generation
Let's do just what we must
and straighten it out
Our generation
straighten it out
Let's straighten it out
and straighten it out
Heyyyyyyyyy we can
straighten it out YEAHHH
C'mon yeah Our generation
let's straighten it out
Hey hey we'll straighten it out
We'll straighten it out
straighten it out
New York City better
straighten it out
Atlanta better straighten it out
In Los Angeles you
better straighten it out
We can straighten it out
we can straighten it out
