Hope In A Hopeless World (What Kind Of Love Album Version)
Lyrics
Ooh, ooh
Looking for hope
Baby born in New York City
Wrapped in a blanket that's tattered and worn
Mother done the best she can
Picking hope in a hopeless world, yeah
Eldest son, he stayed in school
He listened to his mother, didn't drink or use
Yet, yet every job he wants he gets refused
It takes hope in a hopeless world
Looking for hope in a hopeless world
Searching for love in such hateful times
Trying to stay strong when my mind gets weak
Looking for hope in a hopeless world
Looking for hope
On the corner, stands a young girl
The home she left was from the better part of town
Daddy did things she just can't talk about
Is there hope in a hopeless world?
You got a quarter for the homeless man?
Can you spare some change for the soldiers who fought the war?
Put some money in those hats and those tents
Give them hope in a hopeless world
Looking for hope in a hopeless world
Trying to find love in such hateful times
Make my world repeat (Looking for hope in a hopeless world)
To everybody (Ease my mind, ease my mind)
Ooh, you gotta listen to the voice inside
It speaks of love, don't compromise
Realize time is passing you by
Mountains to climb, can't be standing still
No, no, don't be standing still
Church is full but the prayers won't seem to be 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 talking 'bout
Raise your hand, raise your hand if you're with me
Give them hope in a hopeless world
Looking for hope in a hopeless world
I've got to find that love in this hateful time
I want to repeat to everybody
Oh, yeah, oh
Somebody out there's got to listen
Somebody, somebody out there's got to know what I'm talking 'bout
