‘Hope’s Daughters' - words & music by Charles Luke Vassella
Any minute now they'll be pushing the button
Any minute now this could all come to nothing
Last I saw hope was standing at Lismore station
All dressed up and waiting for a train
Last I saw hope was praying for our restoration
In a church beside the river, then it started to rain

Hope has two beautiful daughters
Get to know them by name
One called Anger at the way things are
One called Courage to see that things don't stay the same

Any minute now it'll be the end of my story
Any minute now I'll be shuffled off into glory
Lying in this Lismore hospital bed, thoughts rolling through my head
Of hope been delayed, waylaid and betrayed
But I'm still walking on looking for a new song
Looking for a better day, did I hear somebody say...

Hope has two beautiful daughters
Get to know them by name
One called Anger at the way things are
One called Courage to see that things don't stay the same
Hope has two beautiful daughters
Two beautiful names
One called Anger at the way things are
One called Courage to see that things don't stay the same

Any minute now they'll be pushing the button
Any minute now the next fresh hell is coming
And if you're not angry are you even paying attention?
And if I think everything's going to be alright my brother
Any minute now you'll receive an intervention?

Hope has two beautiful daughters
