Hope the Gods Upturn this Tumultuous Hour

[Verse] In the heart of the dust, where the winds speak in sighs, A homestead stands weary under vast, open skies. Fields of dreams turned to barren, the earth cracked and dry, With hands calloused from toil, under the watchful eye. [Chorus] Oh, mercy rain down, wash the sorrow from this ground, An act of God, a sign to turn these fortunes 'round. We're holding on, with faith that's been tried and found, In the silence, we're praying for a hopeful sound. [Verse 2] The sun beats relentless on the old cabin door, A testament to what was and what's worth fighting for. The creek's whisper's gone quiet, the well's about to yield, But the heart of a homesteader refuses to keel. [Chorus] Oh, mercy rain down, wash the sorrow from this ground, An act of God, a sign to turn these fortunes 'round. We're holding on, with faith that's been tried and found, In the silence, we're praying for a hopeful sound. [Bridge] When the night falls heavy, and the stars seem to hide, We look up to the heavens, with our arms open wide. For a sign, for a whisper, for the skies to part, For an act of God to mend a broken heart. [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] When the night falls heavy, and the stars seem to hide, We look up to the heavens, with our arms open wide. For a sign, for a whisper, for the skies to part, For an act of God to mend a broken heart. [Chorus] [Male & Female Choir singing] Oh, mercy rain down, wash the sorrow from this ground, An act of God, a sign to turn these fortunes 'round. We're holding on, with faith that's been tried and found, In the silence, we're praying for a hopeful sound. [Chorus] [Male & Female Choir orchestral] Oh, mercy rain down, wash the sorrow from this ground, An act of God, a sign to turn these fortunes 'round. We're holding on, with faith that's been tried and found, In the silence, we're praying for a hopeful sound. [Outro] So here's to the homesteaders, with their unyielding will, May the act of God they seek, come to pass, come to still. In the somber song of waiting, may there rise a new day, Where the land blooms once more, in an extraordinary way.
