lyrics

Hannah's dream, simple as it seems
Is it just a piece of the fantasy machine?
Hannah's dream, God tell me what it means
Are we lost? Give us something to believe

Hannah had a dream she was the king of a regime
Never bowed to any man, stands proud as she can be
Hannah dreams of scenes she's never seen on silver screens
Knuckles white, her fists held tight, resists without a scream
Hannah sinks her teeth into a life she's not beneath
The rights she's had to justify, thrust high beyond her reach

Hannah's been kept down because her skin is slightly brown
The preacher man, the teacher man, grin whiter than a clown
Hannah dreams of peace that isn't sanctioned by police
Anxiously awake at night, she vies the gunfire to cease

Hannah had a choice but she was not given a voice
Richer men are living in the Hill where bills are void
Hannah wants to pray but she's not sure what to say
The men of God say, "God's a man," pushing her further away

Lyrics: Matt Daly
