Hope In a Hopeless World

Lyrics

Oh-whoa, looking for hope Baby born in New York City Wrapped in a blanket that's tattered and worn Mother done the best she can Picking hope in a hopeless world, yeah Eldest son, he stayed in school He listened to his mama, didn't drink or use Yet every job he wants, he gets refused It takes hope in a hopeless world Looking for hope in a hopeless world Searching for love in such hateful times Trying to stay strong while the mind gets weak Looking for hope in a hopeless world Looking for hope On a corner stands a young girl The home she left was from the better part of town Her daddy did things she just can't talk about Is there hope in a hopeless world You got a quarter for the homeless man Can you pare some change for a soldiers who fought the war Put some money in those hats and those tins Give them hope in a hopeless world Looking for hope in a hopeless world Trying for love in such hateful times Looking for hope in a hopeless world (I wanna bring peace to everybody) To ease my mind, ease my mind Ooh, you gotta listen to the voice inside That speaks of love, don't compromise Realize time is passing you by now Mountains to climb, can't be standing still No, no, don't stand still The church is full but the prayers don't seem to be heard Saturday's child don't want to go to Sunday school Whatever happened to the golden rule Teach them hope in a hopeless world Somebody out there's got to listen, yeah Somebody out there's got to know what I'm talking about now Raise your hand, raise your hand if you're with me Give them hope in a hopeless world Looking for hope in a hopeless world Searching for love in such hateful times (I got to find that love in this hateful time) Trying to stay strong while the mind gets weak (I wanna bring peace to everybody now) Looking for hope in a hopeless world (Oh, oh, yeah) Oh, somebody out there's got to listen, somebody Somebody out there's got to know what I'm talking about, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, yeah, oh-oh, yeah Searching for the hope, looking for it Searching for the peace, looking for it Searching for the hope, looking for it Searching for the peace, looking for it Searching for the hope, looking for it Searching for the peace, looking for it Searching for the hope, looking for it Searching for the peace, looking for it Searching for the hope, looking for it Searching for the peace, looking for it Searching for the hope, looking for it Searching for the peace, looking for it
