lyrics

You Can’t Depend On Love
Ola Onabulé 2018

You can't rely on hope
First it's lost, then it fades.
Until you find a soul to give some to
You'll find,
You can't rely on hope,

People, are not what they used to be,
They seem to have no use for people,
Empty, is something to fill lives with,
Replacing faith with fear, the new faithful
As long as someone must lose
It’s going to be a race no one wins
Some kinda victory it's bound to be
if the vanquished is...
your brother or his neighbour or her sister's fellow man

You can't rely on hope
First it's lost, then it fades
Until you find a soul to give some to
You'll find,
You can't rely on hope,

People, can't seem to see any one
Before they place a worth on people
Difference, plays the deciding hand
In the game of divide the vulnerable
But if no one gets out alive
Why work so hard to keep another down
Some kinda difference it's going to make
if the trampled is...
your brother or his neighbour or her sister's fellow man

You can't rely on hope
It gets lost, then it fades
Until you find a soul to give some to
You'll find,
You can't rely on hope,

You can't depend on love,
First it’s blind and then it wanes
Until you find a heart give yours to
You'll find,
You can't rely on, I'd never bet on, You can't depend on love.
