Hope

[Verse 1]

Trouble comes to everyone

You gotta hold your head up high

This old heart, to fight it out

No matter how you try

Life is a question of alternatives

Which way you wanna go?

[Verse 2]

I'm well aware that life ain't fair

You see it all the time

I've seen smiles in poverty

And tears in the finest wines

When every day's an identical day

And every night goes slow

[Chorus]

You gotta have hope

You gotta have hope

You gotta have hope

You gotta have hope

[Bridge]

And some will kneel on velvet pads

And some will look up to the sky

'Cause hope is the only hope they ever had

Their hope can never die

[Verse 3]

Some folks cling to memories

And some are drawn to desire

Some folks deal with tragedy

And some folks play with fire

The sun will rise, the sun will die

But rise again tomorrow

[Chorus]

You gotta have hope

You gotta have hope

Hope is all you need to get you through

You gotta have hope

You gotta have hope

Yeah, you gotta have hope

Hope is all you need to get you through

You gotta have hope

You gotta have hope

You gotta have hope

You gotta have hope

You gotta have hope

You need a little hope

Yeah (You gotta have hope)
