Lyrics India.Arie – There’s Hope
Text:
Verse 1:
Back when I had a little
I thought that I needed a lot
A little was over rated,
You see-Zero didn’t satisfy me
A million didn’t make me happy
That’s when I learned a lesson
That it’s all about your perception
Hey-are you a pauper or a superstar
So you act, so you feel, so you are
It ain’t about the size of your car
It’s about the size of the faith in your heart
Chorus:
There’s hope
It doesn’t cost a thing to smile
You don’t have to pay to laugh
You better thank God for that
repeat
There’s hope
Verse 2:
Off in the back country of Brazil
A met a young brother that made me feel
That I could accomplish anything.
You see just like me he wanted to sing
He had no windows and no doors
He lived a simple life and was extremely poor
On top of all of that he had no eye sight,
but that didn’t keep him from seein’ the light
He said, what’s it like in the USA,
He said-livin’ here is paradise
He taught me paradise is in your mind
You know that
Chorus
Bridge:
Every time I turn on the T.V. (There’s Hope)
Somebody’s acting crazy (There’s Hope)
If you let it, it will drive you crazy (There’s Hope)
but I’m takin’ back my power today (There’s Hope)
Gas prices they just keep on rising (There’s Hope)
The government they keep on lying
but we gotta keep on surviving
Keep living our truth and do the best we can do
Chorus
Stand up for your rights
echo
Keep shining your light
echo
And show the world your smile
echo
Chorus
