Hope In A Hopeless World
Baby born in New York City
Wrapped in a blanket that's tattered an' worn
Mother doin' the best she can
Teachin' hope in a hopeless world
Eldest son, he stayed in school
Listened to his mother, didn't drink or use
Yet, every job he wants he gets refused
It takes hope in a hopeless world
Lookin' for hope in a hopeless world
Searchin' for love in such hateful times
Tryin' to stay strong when my mind gets weak
Looking for hope in a hopeless world
On the corner stands a young girl
The home she left was from a better part of town
Her daddy did things she couldn't talk about
Is there hope in a hopeless world?
Ya got a quarter for the homeless man?
Spare some change for the soldiers who fought the war
Put some money in their hats an' in their tins
Give them hope in a hopeless world
Hope in a hopeless world
Tryin' to find love in such hateful times
(Looking for hope) strong when my mind gets weak (in a hopeless world)
Ooh, ooh, ooh (tryin' to ease my mind)
We got to listen to the voice inside
That speaks of love, don't compromise
Realize time is passin' by
There are mountains to climb, we can't be standing still, oh no
Churches are full, but the prayers are not heard
Saturday's child don't wanna go to Sunday school
Whatever happened to the golden rule
Teach them hope in a hopeless world
Somebody out there's got to listen, yeah
Somebody out there's got to know what I'm talkin' 'bout
Raise your hand, raise your hand if you're with me
There's hope in a hopeless world
Lookin' for hope in a hopeless world
Searchin' for love in such hateful times (love in such hateful times)
Trying to find love (tryin' to stay strong when my mind gets weak)
Gotta find love in a hopeless world (gotta find love)
I gotta find love (gotta find love in a hateful time, gotta find love)
I gotta find love in such hateful world
(Gotta find hope in a hopeless world, gotta find love)
Gotta find love to free my weak mind (ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Gotta find hope) free my mind (in a hopeless world, gotta find love)
Gotta find love (gotta find love in a hateful time, gotta find love)
Oh, yeah (gotta find hope in a hopeless world, gotta find love)
Hope in a hopefully world (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Lookin' for hope (gotta find hope in a hopeless world, gotta find love)
Searching for love (gotta find hope in a hopeless world)
In such hateful, hateful time (gotta find love)
(Gotta find hope in a hopeless world, gotta find love)
I gotta find it, gotta find it (ooh, ooh, ooh) I gotta find love
(Gotta find hope in a hopeless world, gotta find love)
(Gotta find love in a hateful time, gotta find love)
(Gotta find hope in a hopeless world, gotta find love)
Wrapped in a blanket that's tattered an' worn
Mother doin' the best she can
Teachin' hope in a hopeless world
Eldest son, he stayed in school
Listened to his mother, didn't drink or use
Yet, every job he wants he gets refused
It takes hope in a hopeless world
Lookin' for hope in a hopeless world
Searchin' for love in such hateful times
Tryin' to stay strong when my mind gets weak
Looking for hope in a hopeless world
On the corner stands a young girl
The home she left was from a better part of town
Her daddy did things she couldn't talk about
Is there hope in a hopeless world?
Ya got a quarter for the homeless man?
Spare some change for the soldiers who fought the war
Put some money in their hats an' in their tins
Give them hope in a hopeless world
Hope in a hopeless world
Tryin' to find love in such hateful times
(Looking for hope) strong when my mind gets weak (in a hopeless world)
Ooh, ooh, ooh (tryin' to ease my mind)

I gotta find love (gotta find love in a hateful time, gotta find love)
I gotta find love in such hateful world
(Gotta find hope in a hopeless world, gotta find love)
Gotta find love to free my weak mind (ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Gotta find hope) free my mind (in a hopeless world, gotta find love)
Gotta find love (gotta find love in a hateful time, gotta find love)
Oh, yeah (gotta find hope in a hopeless world, gotta find love)
Hope in a hopefully world (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Lookin' for hope (gotta find hope in a hopeless world, gotta find love)
Searching for love (gotta find hope in a hopeless world)
In such hateful, hateful time (gotta find love)
(Gotta find hope in a hopeless world, gotta find love)
I gotta find it, gotta find it (ooh, ooh, ooh) I gotta find love
(Gotta find hope in a hopeless world, gotta find love)
(Gotta find love in a hateful time, gotta find love)
(Gotta find hope in a hopeless world, gotta find love)
