By The People; For The People movie - There\'s Hope lyrics

rate me

[Verse 1:]<br>

Back when I had a little<br>

I thought that I needed a lot<br>

A little was over rated,<br>

but a lot was a little too complicated<br>

You see-Zero didn't satisfy me<br>

A million didn't make me happy<br>

That's when I learned a lesson<br>

That it's all about your perception<br>

Hey-are you a pauper or a superstar<br>

So you act, so you feel, so you are<br>

It ain't about the size of your car<br>

It's about the size of the faith in your heart<br>

<br>

[Chorus:]<br>

There's hope<br>

It doesn't cost a thing to smile<br>

You don't have to pay to laugh<br>

You better thank God for that<br>

[repeat]<br>

<br>

There's hope<br>

<br>

[Verse 2:]<br>

Off in the back country of Brazil<br>

A met a young brother that made me feel<br>

That I could accomplish anything.<br>

You see just like me he wanted to sing<br>

He had no windows and no doors<br>

He lived a simple life and was extremely poor<br>

On top of all of that he had no eye sight,<br>

but that didn't keep him from seein' the light<br>

He said, what's it like in the USA,<br>

and all I did was complain<br>

He said-livin' here is paradise<br>

He taught me paradise is in your mind<br>

You know that<br>

<br>

[Chorus]<br>

<br>

[Bridge:]<br>

Every time I turn on the T.V. (There's Hope)<br>

Somebody's acting crazy (There's Hope)<br>

If you let it, it will drive you crazy (There's Hope)<br>

but I'm takin' back my power today (There's Hope)<br>

Gas prices they just keep on rising (There's Hope)<br>

The government they keep on lying<br>

but we gotta keep on surviving<br>

Keep living our truth and do the best we can do<br>

<br>

[Chorus]<br>

<br>

Stand up for your rights [echo]<br>

Keep shining your light [echo]<br>

And show the world your smile [echo]<br>

<br>

[Chorus]<br>

<br>
