| Hoplessness is in the ally,
|
| Alone dragging his feet.
|
| He wasn’t born that way,
|
| But life has just taught him defeat.
|
| So he waits to teach you distrust,
|
| From his cold home in the streets.
|
| — And hope is all that you can do.
|
| Hopelessness is on the TV,
|
| Infecting see, the shining sea.
|
| And in the worried eyes of our parents,
|
| Try as we might not to believe.
|
| And we’ve tried pills and prescriptions,
|
| But drugs won’t cure this disease.
|
| — Hope is all that we can do.
|
| This is the New Year,
|
| Nobody knows,
|
| Where we are going,
|
| What’s down the road…
|
| The city is humming,
|
| The country is cold.
|
| — But you give me something;
|
| Something like hope.
|
| We grew up without parents,
|
| To teach us wrong from right.
|
| So we turned towards many heroes,
|
| But still we couldn’t sleep at night.
|
| So we searched and read and listened,
|
| To the songs old prophets sang.
|
| — Lets all get together friends,
|
| And dance the rain away.
|
| Its time to get together friends,
|
| And dance away the rain.
|
| This is the New Year,
|
| Nobody knows,
|
| Where we are going
|
| What’s down the road…
|
| The city is humming
|
| The country is cold
|
| — But you give me something;
|
| Something like hope |
