A Song of Hope Songtext
von The Back Porch Majority

I know we got troubles, friend
Problems by the store!
But Ol′ Man Trouble ain't no stranger
He′s been around before.

How can you say you've done your best
When you hang your head and cry?
I tell you over and over and over again
We're gonna make it, if we try!

With a song of hope! A simple prayer!
There′s gonna be a tomorrow!
We′re gonna be there!

(I got no time to pity myself!
No more for the human race!)
Don't tell me, friend, what′s wrong with this world!
Let's make it a better place!

They said it was hopeless at Valley Forge
Ah, but ain′cha glad they were wrong!
In the long, bloody hour of consequence
The quitters still sing that old song!


You say, it's the time of destruction, friend!
Ya talk about our sorrow and shame!
Just hold out your hand, he′ll pull you along!
(Lord, do you remember his name?)

With a song of hope! A simple prayer!
There's gonna be a tomorrow!
We're gonna be there!!

(We got no time to pity ourselves!
No more for the human race!)
No quitter sighs, and advertise, just understand and sympathize!
Count your blessings one-by-one!

Roll up your sleeves, there′s work to be done!
Don′t tell me, friend, what's wrong with this world!
Let′s make it a better place!

Sing a song of hope! A simple prayer!
Don't hang your head and cry!
I tell you over and over and over again
We′re gonna make it, if we try!

I tell you over and over and over again
We're gonna make it, if we try!!
