Sheet of gray 'cross a Cleveland sky
Step on out and face the frigid air
Dime a dozen are the passersby
Hundred-ton load on their shoulders they bear
Making their way down the cold city streets
Weary eyes tell tales of defeat
Well, it's not mine to analyze
(CHORUS)
There's a hope for Cleveland
There's an end to the bitter snow
There's a hope for Cleveland
There's a Light I know
Light I know
Storms will rise and winds will blow
Dose of pain to the heavy heart
Earth is dead but a river will flow
Chains and fetters will break apart
Flesh is full but the spirit is in hunger
In the distance there's the sound of thunder
Comin' down there's a mighty rain
(CHORUS)
There's a hope for Cleveland
There's an end to the bitter snow
There's a hope for Cleveland
There's a Light I know
Light I know
(BRIDGE)
Fresh rain pour out on me
Fresh rain wash these city streets
Fresh rain fill these empty hearts
Drink the living water
(CHORUS)
There's a hope for Cleveland
There's an end to the bitter snow
There's a hope for Cleveland
There's a Light I know
Light I know
