Widespread Panic - Hop In A Hopeless World (encore) Lyrics
Baby born in New York CityWrapped in a blanket all tattered and wornMama's doin' the best she canIt takes hope in a hopeless worldHer eldest son, he stayed in schoolListened to his mother, he never drank or usedBut every job he wants he gets refusedIt takes hope in a hopeless worldLooking for hope in a hopeless worldTrying to find love in these hateful timesTry to stay strong but my mind is weakLooking for hope in a hopeless worldChurches are full, but the prayers are not heardSaturday's child don't wanna to go to Sunday schoolWhatever happened to the golden ruleIt takes hope in a hopeless worldD'you got a quarter for the homeless manSpare some change for the soldiers who fought the warPut a little money in those hats and those tinsGive them hope in a hopeless worldLooking for hope in a hopeless worldSearchin' for love in these hateful timesTry to stay strong but my mind is weakEase my mind, ease my mindAnd on the corner there stands a young girlThe home she left was in the better part of townDaddy did things she never talked aboutIt takes hope in a hopeless worldSomebody out there gotta listenSomebody out there got to know what Pops been talkin' aboutRaise your hand, raise your hands if you're with meGive us hope in a hopeless worldYou've got to listen to the voice insidePeace and love don't compromise - realizeTime is passing byCan't be standing still!
