LYRICS:
I’m Dreaming of the day
When I can walk and say
I’m feeling so comfortable
Living in the USA
Crying for Hope
My man it ant no joke
They keep telling me I’m wrong
While you treat me like a threat
This is the place was I born
My Man this is my home
Crying for Hope
My man it ant no joke
People speaking’ lots of words
Saying all the wrong things
I need You as a Allied
But all I see are friends
This ant no real freedom
Even though I have a vote
Our young men keep-on dying
In these streets where there’s no hope
We always talkin’ answers
Those answers never come
We can’t let them run us out
Of the place where we was born
We’re Crying for Hope
My man it ant no joke
We’re Crying for Hope
Let’s march shout and vote

I enjoyed myself seeing George Porter, Jr., live for the very first time in New Orleans June 21, 2021. The band jammed the whole show and I danced pretty much the entire time. After the show, George Porter and the drummer allowed my son to capture photos together. The photos are now in my treasure chest. Thanks for creating positive music with positive lyrics. And thanks for sharing this music video on KZbin. Smiles
