Hope In A Hopeless World

[00:21.97] Baby born in New York City
[00:26.82] Wrapped in a blanket that's tattered an' worn
[00:31.64] Mother doin' the best she can
[00:35.63] Teachin' hope in a hopeless world
[00:41.33] Eldest son, he stayed in school
[00:46.11] Listened to his mother, didn't drink or use
[00:51.14] Yet, every job he wants he gets refused
[00:55.38] It takes hope in a hopeless world
[00:59.40] Lookin' for hope in a hopeless world
[01:04.58] Searchin' for love in such hateful times
[01:08.88] Tryin' to stay strong when my mind gets weak
[01:14.05] Looking for hope in a hopeless world
[01:20.75] On the corner stands a young girl
[01:25.59] The home she left was from a better part of town
[01:30.24] Her daddy did things she couldn't talk about
[01:34.61] Is there hope in a hopeless world?
[01:40.59] Ya got a quarter for the homeless man?
[01:45.35] Spare some change for the soldiers who fought the war
[01:50.02] Put some money in their hats an' in their tins
[01:54.22] Give them hope in a hopeless world
[02:00.04] Hope in a hopeless world
[02:02.98] Tryin' to find love in such hateful times
[02:08.34] (Looking for hope) strong when my mind gets weak (in a hopeless world)
[02:13.98] Ooh, ooh, ooh (tryin' to ease my mind)
[02:19.45] We got to listen to the voice inside
[02:24.54] That speaks of love, don't compromise
[02:29.39] Realize time is passin' by
[02:33.79] There are mountains to climb, we can't be standing still, oh no
[02:49.15] Churches are full, but the prayers are not heard
[02:53.74] Saturday's child don't wanna go to Sunday school
[02:58.71] Whatever happened to the golden rule
[03:02.93] Teach them hope in a hopeless world
[03:08.66] Somebody out there's got to listen, yeah
[03:13.45] Somebody out there's got to know what I'm talkin' 'bout
[03:18.35] Raise your hand, raise your hand if you're with me
