Hope in a Hopeless World Lyrics

Baby born in New York city Wrapped in a blanket all tattered and worn Mama's doing the best that 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 And 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 Trying 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
Do 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 Trying to find love in these hateful times Trying to stay strong but my mind is weak Looking for hope in a hopeless world
Ooh, somebody out there gotta listen Somebody out there got to know what pops been talking about Raise your hand, raise your hands if you're with him Give us hope in a hopeless world
Looking for hope in a hopeless world Trying to find love in these hateful times Trying to stay strong but my mind is weak Looking for hope in a hopeless world
Looking for hope in a hopeless world Trying to find love in these hateful times Trying to stay strong but my mind is weak Looking for hope in a hopeless world
Can't be standing still
