Baby born in New York city
Wrapped in a blanket that is tighter than warm
Mother doing the best she can
We can hope in the hopeless world
Her eldest son stayed in school
Listen to mother, didn not drink use
Yet every job he wants, he get refuse
It takes hope in a hopeless world

Looking for hope in a hopeless world
Searching for love in such hateful times
Looking for hope in a hopeless world
Trying to ease my mind, ease my mind

On the corner stands the young girl
The home she left was from a better part of town
Her dad did things she can't talk about
Is there a hope in a hopeless world
Got a call from a homeless man
Spare some change from a soldier who fought a world
Puts some money in those hats and old jeans
Give them a hope in a hopeless world

You got to listen to the voice in side you that speaks of love
Don't compromise, realize
Time is passing by
There is mountains to climb
Can we standing
Can we standing still

Whatever happen to a golden rule
Is to hope in the hopeless world

Somebody out there got to listen
Somebody out there got to know what I am talking about
Rise your hand, rise your hand if you with me
There is hope in a hopeless world

(From a souls of millions
Let the praise be heard
All nations together in unity
The golden rule for humanity
Teach us hope in a hopeless world)

You got to find love in the hopeless world
Got to find love
You got to find love in a hateful times
You got to find love

Free your mind
Free your mind
With hope in a hopeless world
