Baby born in New York City Wrapped in a blanket all tattered and worn Mama's doin' the best 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 But 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 Try 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
D'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 Searchin' for love in these hateful times Try to stay strong but my mind is weak Ease my mind, ease my mind
And on the corner there stands a young girl The home she left was in the better part of town Daddy did things she never talked about It takes hope in a hopeless world
Somebody out there gotta listen Somebody out there got to know what Pops been talkin' about Raise your hand, raise your hands if you're with me Give us hope in a hopeless world
You've got to listen to the voice inside Peace and love don't compromise - realize Time is passing by Can't be standing still!Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
