Shake a Hand

Just look outside your window
And see the sun comin' through the clouds
The flags are flyin' from the rooftops
And we're hopin' that some laughter can be found
We need a little joy to spread around

Just lift your head, there'll be a new tomorrow
I feel the joy comin' through my heart
Let's sing a song of hope and understanding
Let fear be gone and misery be through
There's a light that's shinin' down on me and you

Just shake a hand each day
Call up a friend and spread the news today
That things are fine, hip-hip-hooray
Gotta believe that love is on its way

A child is born with innocence and sunshine
Why should we put a rifle in his hand?
And there's his mother weepin' at the doorstep
One moment he's here and then he's gone
Don't you know this hatred can't go on

Just shake a hand each day
Call up a friend and spread the news today
That things are fine, hip-hip-hooray
Gotta believe that love is on its way

Just shake a hand each day
Call up a friend and spread the news today
That things are fine, hip-hip-hooray
You gotta believe that love is on its way

We've got to pray for a new tomorrow
We've got to raise our voices to the sky
Now every cloud has a silver lining
Things will start to change, just wait and see
There'll be a better life for you and me

Just shake a hand each day
Call up a friend and spread the news today
That things are fine, hip-hip-hooray
Gotta believe that love is on its way
You've got to believe that love is on its way
Gotta believe that love is on its way
