"HOPE. " - by Ivan Beats & Matthew F. Blowers III
“ H O P E ! “
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ighqg04-3M
Hope is the only
sane way to cope
you can’t just sit
around and mope
and there ain’t no peace
at the end of a rope
you’ll end up dead
from its painful chokes.
The only thing that keeps
a body living is hope
it’s your very best friend
it heals scars you can’t mend.
You want to marry that
girl, but you can’t elope
love doesn’t work well
when you’re both flat broke.
You keep seeking a job
but they all tell you “Nope.”
so you borrow some cash
but then you spend it on dope.
Even guys on the street
who hold out cardboard signs
that say: “Will work for food”
stand and hope that some time
someone will stop and say
I’ve got work that will pay
then they’ll pick up a job
come the very next day.
You might try burglary
but soon enough you will be
sitting in a jail cell where
hope can’t set you free.
You don’t have a car
so you walk to the bar
you should put that booze
money in a big glass jar
In a year or so you could
put that money down
on a second hand car
you’ll be driving around
all over town.
You say what good is hope?
you should sit and imagine
what your life would be like
if you sent all hope packing.
Never give up on hope
sometimes it’s all you’ve got
in your deepest despair
hope can help you a lot.
It gives you the drive
when you’re trying to survive
hope can keep you alive
till its promise arrives.
I can show you the hopeless
and where they are concealed
beneath stones with a number
buried in potter’s fields.
Somewhere out there’s an answer
to whatever you need
someone who will help to transfer
all that makes your soul bleed.
But you’ve got to keep hunting
every day, every night
with hope in your heart
and its hunger to fight
till your life is made right.
There are thousands of stories
where sad folks found sweet glory
you must never ignore these
I know.... cause it worked for me
Hope’s the best way to cope
despair’s a slippery slope
hope’s the only strong rope.
grab a hold…don’t let go
trust in hope
chase it’s dreams
all across the globe
Let hope be
what you chose
until you reach
your true goals.
Let hope be
what you chose
until you reach
your true goals.
Hope is the only
sane way to cope
you can’t just sit
around and mope
and there ain’t no peace
at the end of a rope
you’ll end up dead
from its painful chokes.
The only thing that
keeps a body living
is hope.
