Hope In A Hopeless World lyrics

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!
