A Ray of Hope Songtext
von Desmond Child

Blessed are the mercyful for they shall obtain mercy
And blessed are the meek for they shall possess the earth

I am a man or sometimes I′m a child
I'm caught up struggle it has me running wild
The angel on my shoulder and devil at my sleeve
And the apple of temptation held it from of me

CHORUS
And I will try everyday to be a better man
And send a wave of love to everyone I can
And I believe that there′s a ray of hope
A light that's shining down from heaven


Say a prayer for the unfortunate man
Who knows of no salvation and greed is this religion
Say a prayer for the man
Who do not practice what they preach
The children and the innocent
Mislead by what they teach

As I walk down these city street
I See a side of life and greed is his religion
But I know that we've all part of the plan
Saints and sinners all of us
Walking hand in hand

So we must try everyday to be a better men
And send a wave of love to everyone we can
′Cause I believe that there′s a ray of hope
A light that's shining down from heaven
