(Verse 1): Back when I had a little I thought that I needed a lot A little was over rated, but a lot was a little too complicated 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 papa 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 brotha 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, and all I did was complain He said-living here is Paradise He taught me paradise in 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) 2x
(Chorus)
