Alabama Shakes - I Feel Hope Coming Lyrics

Alabama Shakes Lyrics

"I Feel Hope Coming"

It's gonna take more than prayers to change this place
It's gonna take a lot of "I don't know if I can"
They beat us down, make us crazy
Make us sick, call us lazy
I don't want your martial law, I want clean air
I don't want no enemies that ain't even there
Make us work, but they can't pay us
I want to work so they can't play us

I feel hope coming, I feel hope coming
I feel love coming, I feel hope coming
I feel hope coming, I feel hope coming
I feel love coming, I feel hope coming
So get dug in

They wanna take my home
And turn it upside down on me
Until my heart is numb
My heart is
Until my heart is numb
My heart is numb

It's gonna take more than prayers to change my faith
It's gonna take a lot of "I don't know if I can"
She needs protection, so she can love on
All her family, so they can go on
To make it work, so they can thank us
Got to work so they can't play us

I feel hope coming, I feel hope coming
I feel love coming, I feel hope coming
I feel hope coming, I feel hope coming
I feel love coming, I feel hope coming

Whatever's coming, let it come
There's no man that can make me run
All the hell that we put through each other
Can make us so strong

They wanna take my home
And turn it upside down on me
Until my heart is numb
My heart is
Until my heart is numb
My heart is numb
