On the first day of the year
Came the speech that echoed on for miles
There were shadows in the sky
A promise for the fourth of July
They said, "Everybody wake up
And start planning for the next few months
Take everything you can grab
There's a feeling we're not coming back"
The streets were all crowded
With faces I've never seen before
Whenever I hear knocking
A little hope says that it's you outside my door
The rest depends on the person you ask
Cause the stories change the further you go out
But make sure you seek the truth
You'll find out things you never wanted to know
The streets were all crowded
With faces I've never seen before
Whenever I hear knocking
A little hope says that it's you outside my door
The streets were all crowded
With faces I've never seen before
Whenever I hear knocking
A little hope says that it's you outside my door
