Hope |
| I remember, wasn’t so long ago |
| We had a one room shack and the livin' was low |
| And my mama by herself raised me and my bro |
| Wasn’t easy, but we did it with the little that go |
| Worked hard, got us up for school every day |
| And kept her eyes on the stars when the skies were gray |
| Gave us pride to survive, really showed us the way |
| Now I really understood what she was tryin' to say |
| She said, «Son there’ll be times when the tides are high |
| And the boat may be rocky, you can cry |
| Just never give up |
| You can never give up,» uh-uh |
| In this life you could lead if you only believe |
| And in order to achieve what you need |
| You can never give up |
| You can never give up |
| And this hope |
| That keep me holding on |
| On and on |
| And this hope |
| That makes me carry on |
| On and on |
| Boom-boom, couldn’t have made it alone |
| I got a wonderful life, two kids on my own |
| With a strong foundation that was carved in stone |
| And my mama for the love that made my house a home |
| Made me wonder some time if this was meant to be |
| All this for a humble little guy like me |
| And all I ever really wanted was a family |
| To teach my kids the same value that she gave to me |
| She said, 'Son there’ll be times when the tides are high |
| And the boat may be rocky, you can cry |
| Just never give up |
| You can never give up,' uh-uh |
| In this life you could lead if you only believe |
| And in order to achieve what you need |
| You can never give up |
| You can never give up |
| And this hope |
| That keep me holding on |
| And on |
| And this hope |
| That makes me carry on |
| On and on |
| We nah turn no stepper, things a go better |
| Never let yourself be overcome by pressure |
| Cool yah me bredda, have faith instead a |
| Sid-dung and a watch and all a fight one another |
| Blaze like fire, we nah go retire |
| God nah sleep and a within him we inspire |
| We have to reach higher for what we require |
| We have to make our mark before the time expire |
| And this hope |
| That keep me holding on |
| And on |
| And this hope |
| That makes me carry on |
| On and on |
| And this hope |
| That keep me holding on |
| And on |
| And this hope |
| That makes me carry on |
| On and on |
| There’s hope, yeah |
| Hope keeps it alive, yeah, uh |
| Hope keeps it alive, yeah, uh |
| And it strikes an iron, uh |
| Hope keeps it alive, yeah, yeah |
| Hope keeps it alive, yeah |
| Only the strong survive, yeah |
| Keep it carry on, keep it carry on, yeah |
| Uh-uh |
| I’ll keep it carry on, yeah |
| I gotta carry on, gotta carry on and be strong |
| Uh-uh-uh |
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, uh-uh |
