Yes We Will
Hope in Hard Times: Tedeschi Trucks Band's Yes We Will
Lyrics
Times are gonna get real hard, yes it will
Expressing a belief that difficult times are imminent
Times are gonna get real hard, yes it will
Reiterating the expectation of challenging times
Oh, our planet is changing fast
Acknowledging rapid changes on Earth
And the way things have gone, it just won't last
Highlighting the unsustainable current state of affairs
Times are gonna get real hard, yes they will
Affirming the inevitability of tough times
Oh, I said that it will
Reiterating the belief in the previous statement
Lord, did you hear me say?
Seeking confirmation or acknowledgment from a higher power
Oh, I said that it will
Reaffirming the expectation of challenging times
Gonna get it right this time, I hope we will (hope we will)
Expressing a desire for positive change in the future
Oh, hope we figure it out this time around, I hope we will (hope we will)
Expressing hope for understanding and resolution in the future
We have a new chance to rewrite the story
Emphasizing the opportunity for a fresh start
Will you change your ways for love and glory?
Asking if one is willing to change for love and honor
Oh, I hope things will work out fine, I hope they will (hope they will)
Expressing hope for a positive outcome
But when you wake up in the morning
Describing a challenging morning scenario
And there's no food up on your shelf
Portraying a situation with a lack of food
And you run to the kitchen faucet, lord
Describing a scenario where there's no water
And no water pours out the spout
Continuing the portrayal of challenging circumstances
Things are gonna be just fine, yes they will (yes they will)
Expressing optimism about the future
Things are gonna be alright, yes they will (yes they will)
Reiterating the belief that things will be okay
We know time ain't on our side
Acknowledging the limited time available
So we better get it right this time
Stressing the importance of getting things right now
Things are gonna be just fine, yes they will (yes they will)
Reaffirming the expectation that things will be okay
When you wake up in the morning
Repeating the challenging morning scenario
And there's no food up on your shelf
Reiterating the lack of food in the morning
And you run to the kitchen faucet, yes
Continuing the portrayal of a water shortage
And no water pours out of your spout
Emphasizing the persistence of water scarcity
And you turn on the light switch
Highlighting a situation with no electricity
While you're still standing alone in the dark
Emphasizing the sense of isolation in the dark
I see you ride to work in the morning
Observing the struggle to commute without gas
And there's no gas to put in your car
Describing a situation with no fuel for the car
When you wake up in the morning
Repeating the morning scenario with no food
And there's no food up on your shelf
Reiterating the lack of food in the morning
And you run to the kitchen faucet, lord
Continuing the portrayal of a water shortage
And no water's pouring out of your spout
Emphasizing the persistence of water scarcity
And you turn on the light switch
Highlighting a situation with no electricity
But you're standing all alone in the dark
Emphasizing the sense of isolation in the dark
And you ride to work monday morning
Observing the struggle to commute without gas
And there's no gas to put in your car
Describing a situation with no fuel for the car
Don't be surprised when it happens
Advising not to be surprised by an impending event
But the writing's been slapped on the wall
Indicating that signs have been evident
Come on, wake up people, can't you see it now?
Encouraging people to wake up and recognize the reality
Time is right now
Emphasizing the urgency of the present moment
Come on
Encouraging collective action
We can do it
Expressing confidence in the ability to overcome challenges
Lord, yes we will, yes we will
Reaffirming the collective will to face challenges
