BABY BORN IN
NEW YORK CITY
WRAPPED IN A BLANKET
ALL TATTERED AND WORN
MAMA'S DOING THE BEST
THAT SHE CAN
IT TAKES HOPE IN
A HOPELESS WORLD
HER ELDEST SON HE
STAYED IN SCHOOL
LISTENED TO HIS MOTHER
NEVER DRANK OR USED
AND 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
TRYING 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
GO TO SUNDAY
SCHOOL
WHATEVER HAPPENED
TO THE GOLDEN RULE
IT TAKES HOPE IN
A HOPELESS WORLD
DO 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
TRYING TO FIND LOVE IN
THESE HATEFUL TIMES
TRYING TO STAY STRONG
BUT MY MIND IS WEAK
LOOKING FOR HOPE IN
A HOPELESS WORLD
OOH SOMEBODY OUT
THERE GOTTA LISTEN
SOMEBODY OUT THERE
GOT TO KNOW
WHAT POP'S BEEN
TALKING 'BOUT
RAISE YOUR HAND
RAISE YOUR
HANDS IF YOU'RE
WITH HIM
GIVE US HOPE IN
A HOPELESS WORLD
LOOKING FOR HOPE IN
A HOPELESS WORLD
TRYING TO FIND LOVE IN
THESE HATEFUL TIMES
TRYING TO STAY STRONG
BUT MY MIND IS WEAK
EASE MY MIND
EASE MY MIND
LOOKING FOR HOPE IN
A HOPELESS WORLD
TRYING TO FIND LOVE IN
THESE HATEFUL TIMES
TRYING TO STAY STRONG
BUT MY MIND IS WEAK
LOOKING FOR HOPE IN
A HOPELESS WORLD
