Back in my hometown
Watching the smoke it never stops
I’m gonna live here when i’m older
Been making a new sound
and letting the people build it up
I’m a believer in the progress
I thought this was the life for me
CHORUS:
But you’ve gone pulled me off the shelf
And kept your money to yourself
And I hope you spend it wise
Cutting corners won’t suffice
Cutting corners won’t suffice
We built a ladder
and climbed it up unto the top
such a long way for us to drop
The fact of the matter
Can’t take away whats in your heart
You’re feeling that its closer now
You’ll find it easy to retrieve
CHORUS:
But you’ve gone pulled me off the shelf
And kept your money to yourself
And I hope you spend it wise
Cutting corners won’t suffice
Cutting corners won’t suffice
I know its everybody’s dream
To live in full prosperity
Your heart is open when you call me
So call me out
I know its everybody’s dream
My blessed country tis of thee
Your heart is open when you call me
CHORUS:
But you’ve gone pulled me off the shelf
And kept your money to yourself
And I hope you spend it wise
Cutting corners won’t suffice
We will not fall, anytime
The hope comes back to organise us all
Be kind, the hope is coming back into our lives
The hope is coming back into our lives
The hope is coming back into our lives
