The baby's born in New York City Wrapped in a blanket that's tattered and worn Mama's doing the best she can Findin' hope in a hopeless world
Her eldest boy Well he stayed in school Listen to mama Didn't drink or use But every job he wants He gets refused Is there hope in a hopeless world
Looking for hope in a hopeless world Searchin' for love in such hateful times Tryin' to stay strong While the mind gets weak I'm lookin' for hope in a hopeless world
On a corner stands a young girl The home she left was from the better part of town Her daddy did things she'd rather not talk about Is there hope in a hopeless world
You gotta quarter for the homeless Spare some changes for a soldier who fought the war Put some money in those hats and in those tins Give them hope in a hopeless world
Gotto find hope in a hopeless world Lookin' for love in such hateful times Lookin' for hope in a hopeless world I got to ease my mind Ease my mind
You gotta listen to the voice inside you
That speaks of love Don't compromise , realise The time is quickly passing by There are mountains to climb You can't be standing still
The churches are full but the prayers are not heard Saturday's child don't want to 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 talking about Raise your hand if you're with me
Give them hope in a hopeless world Gotta find hope in a hopeless world Gotta in love Gotta find love in hateful times Gotta find love Gotta find love and free your mind Gotta find love Is there hope in a hopeless world Is there hope in a hopeless worldTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
