Hope In A Hopeless World lyrics

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

Lookin' 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

Lookin' 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

Realize time is passin' by

There are mountains to climb

We can't be standin' 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

Lookin' for hope in a hopeless world

Lookin' for hope in a hopeless world

Gotta find love in a hopeless world
