Lyrics: It’s all going to hell in a hand basket That’s what you told me But I don’t believe it If God loved us then Why would he make it so hard? I think a God of mercy and grace and forgiveness might  look down kindly // And see through our brokenness Love of brother and love of country And search for something you can’t buy with money Love of neighbor and pardon for sinners That’s what I thought I read  I hope your descendants  will be as forgiving as I had believed God to be  I hope that your hatred will end when you age  and your rage will be softened by time and if we’re revolving around the same sun  and if we keep returning to that same great big love Maybe we could see past disagreeing and fight for something  Bigger and brighter than us  I hope that our children will stand on our shoulders  and fix what we broke and return what we stole  oh I hope they forgive us I hope they outlive us  and do what we couldn’t and keep moving forward  I hope that our hatred will end when we age  and our rage will be softened by time  God of mercy and grace and forgiveness please  look down kindly and see that we tried
