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 that i askHope 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... mhmm

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
