Baby born in New York city |
|
Wrapped in a blanket all tattered and worn |
|
Mama's doing the best that she can |
|
It takes hope in a hopeless world |
|
Her eldest son, he stayed in school |
|
Listened to his mother, he never drank or used |
|
And every job he wants he gets refused |
|
It takes hope in a hopeless world |
|
Looking for hope in a hopeless world |
|
Trying to find love in these hateful times |
|
Trying to stay strong but my mind is weak |
|
Looking for hope in a hopeless world |
|
Churches are full, but the prayers are not heard |
|
Saturday's child don't wanna to go to Sunday school |
|
Whatever happened to the golden rule |
|
It takes hope in a hopeless world |
|
Do you got a quarter for the homeless man |
|
Spare some change for the soldiers who fought the war |
|
Put a little money in those hats and those tins |
|
Give them hope in a hopeless world |
|
Looking for hope in a hopeless world |
|
Trying to find love in these hateful times |
|
Trying to stay strong but my mind is weak |
|
Looking for hope in a hopeless world |
|
Ooh, somebody out there gotta listen |
|
Somebody out there got to know what pops been talking about |
|
Raise your hand, raise your hands if you're with him |
|
Give us hope in a hopeless world |
|
Looking for hope in a hopeless world |
|
Trying to find love in these hateful times |
|
Trying to stay strong but my mind is weak |
|
Looking for hope in a hopeless world |
|
Looking for hope in a hopeless world |
|
Trying to find love in these hateful times |
|
Trying to stay strong but my mind is weak |
|
Looking for hope in a hopeless world |
|
Can't be standing still |
