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 world
|
