He ends up paying for the crime
Of giving hope to the hopeless
Of giving someone hope inside
Even causing a revolution
We've spent years
Time uncounted of watching tanks
Ships and planes killing the innocent
We are told we have to give it time
But what is there if we do not care
For the death of those
In greatest need
Who did nothing more
Than having lived marginal lives
Who died due to acts of others
For reasons of hate, evil or greed
A rebel might offer a solution called hope
Should he succeed
Or even should he fail
Often pays with his body nailed to a cross
Others will burn inside
Knowing what they have seen
Will themselves be the voice
Of the voiceless
And bring hope
To the hopeless
Whatever the ultimate cost
