Intro: (4x) verse 1 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 BRIDGE 2
