Looking for hope in a hopeless world
Whatever happened to the golden rule
Looking for hope in a hopeless world
It takes hope in a hopeless world
Trying to stay strong but my mind is weak
Looking for hope in a hopeless world
Her eldest son, he stayed in school
Churches are full, but the prayers are not heard
Looking for hope in a hopeless world
Trying to stay strong but my mind is weak
Trying to stay strong but my mind is weak
Raise your hand, raise your hands if you're with him
It takes hope in a hopeless world
Listened to his mother, he never drank or used
Mama's doing the best that she can
Give them hope in a hopeless world
Trying to find love in these hateful times
Do you got a quarter for the homeless man
And every job he wants he gets refused
Trying to stay strong but my mind is weak
Looking for hope in a hopeless world
Give us hope in a hopeless world
Looking for hope in a hopeless world
Trying to find love in these hateful times
Saturday's child don't wanna to go to Sunday school
It takes hope in a hopeless world
Put a little money in those hats and those tins
Ooh, somebody out there gotta listen
Trying to find love in these hateful times
Looking for hope in a hopeless world
Spare some change for the soldiers who fought the war
Looking for hope in a hopeless world
Somebody out there got to know what pops been talking about
Trying to find love in these hateful times
