Baby born in New York City |
|
Wrapped in a blanket that's tattered an' worn |
|
Mother doin' the best she can |
|
Teachin' hope in a hopeless world |
|
Eldest son, he stayed in school |
|
Listened to his mother, didn't drink or use |
|
Yet, every job he wants he gets refused |
|
It takes hope in a hopeless world |
|
Lookin' for hope in a hopeless world |
|
Searchin' for love in such hateful times |
|
Tryin' to stay strong when my mind gets weak |
|
Looking for hope in a hopeless world |
|
On the corner stands a young girl |
|
The home she left was from a better part of town |
|
Her daddy did things she couldn't talk about |
|
Is there hope in a hopeless world? |
|
Ya got a quarter for the homeless man? |
|
Spare some change for the soldiers |
|
Who fought the war |
|
Put some money in their hats an' in their tins |
|
Give them hope in a hopeless world |
|
Lookin' for hope in a hopeless world |
|
Searchin' for love in such hateful times |
|
Tryin' to stay strong when my mind gets weak |
|
Looking for hope in a hopeless world |
|
Lookin' for hope in a hopeless world... |
|
Tryin' to ease my mind... |
|
We got to listen to the voice inside |
|
That speaks of love - don't compromise |
|
Realise time is passin' by |
|
There are mountains to climb, |
|
We can't be standing still |
|
Churches are full, but the prayers are not heard |
|
Saturday's child don't wanna go to Sunday School |
|
Whatever happened to the Golden Rule |
|
Teach them hope in a hopeless world |
|
Somebody out there's got to listen |
|
Somebody out there's got to know |
|
What I'm talkin' 'bout |
|
Raise your hand, raise your hand if you're with me |
|
There's hope in a hopeless world |
|
Lookin' for hope in a hopeless world |
|
Searchin' for love in such hateful times |
|
Tryin' to stay strong when my mind gets weak |
|
Looking for hope in a hopeless world |
|
Lookin' for hope in a hopeless world... |
|
Gotta find love in a hopeless world... |
