We were born in new york city
Wrapped in a blanket all tattered and worn
Mamas doing the best that she can
Takes hope in a hopeless world
verse 2
Her eldest son, he stayed in school
Listened to his mother, he never drank or used
And every job he wants he gets refused
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
SOLO 1 (Verse Chords)
verse 3
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?
Takes hope in a hopeless world
verse 4
D'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
SOLO 2 (Verse Chords)
BRIDGE 1
verse 4
Somebody out there got to listen
Somebody out there got to know what pops been talking about
Raise your hand, raise your hand if you're willin'
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
