Lyrics
[Intro] They thought we were extinct, But baby, we just blinked. We flapped our wings in dreams unseen… Dodo’s back. And we’re keen. [Verse 1] The rhinos march in rows of grey, Stompin’ facts and truth away. “Be like us,” they grunt and mope, But we got wings, and do-do-dope. They call us soft, they call us slow, But flappin’ joy is how we grow. Our hope don’t bark, it flies and floats, Above their fear, we sing new notes. [Chorus] Hope is so do-do-dope! Flip, flop, flap it, nope! Can’t squash love with fascist trope, ‘Cause hope is so… do-do-dope! [Verse 2] They said we’d never come again, Too kind to fight, too sweet to win. But kindness cuts like mighty oak, And makes the hate machine go broke. Empathy ain’t weak, my friend, It’s why we dare, it’s why we mend (oh whyyy whyyy) We speak up, why we joke, elope, For futures shaped by do-do-hope (that’s whyyy) [Bridge] The ghosts of dodos whisper true: “Don’t let the rhinos trample you.” In the face of old fascist lies… We must laugh, rise, and organize! [Final Chorus] Hope is so do-do-dope! Truth don’t need a microscope. It’s mighty, silly, fool in scope, And hope is just… so do-do-dope! Do-do-dope! Do-do-dope! History can’t dim our hope. Even when they stomp and grope… Hope is so do-do-dope! ⸻ #hopeiseverything (they say;) and #silly #gratitude too! And ain't that great, heh? 'Cause that's all I got for you boo... wooo :)
