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! |
