Hope Is Just Ahead

I wondered why I had the blues So I turned on the evening news Children runnin' from their school because of some damn fool Had no morals he must prove Another kid laid in the blood Another town drowned in the flood Just a tragic trail of tears Lessons not learned through the years Heaven save us from our fears Hope is just ahead, sorrows just behind us From what the good book says: The truth will never bind us Who's to say what we shall find I guess the proof was sure in time To them let's keep the dreamers big Surely hope is just ahead Oh, you gotta believe You gotta keep your faith Get down on your knees Oh, you gotta believe People fightin' in the streets Millions with no food to eat How much longer can we last If we learn nothin' from our past These are the questions in our heads Hope is just ahead, sorrows just behind us From what the good book says: The truth will never bind us Who's to say what we shall find I guess the proof was sure in time To them let's keep the dreamers big Surely hope is just ahead To them, let's keep the dreamers big Surely hope is just ahead, hmm Oh, you gotta believe Keep your faith Get down on your knees Oh, you gotta believe Oh, you gotta believe Gotta keep your faith Get down on your knees Oh, you gotta believe
