There's Hope

India,

If you're reading this blog (unlikely, but who knows), I'd like to thank you for it. Now, if I may I would like to spread the words. A sister might be in need of it, so I'd like to post the lyrics of your wonderful song.

Here goes:

Back when I had a little, I thought that I needed alot,
A little was over rated, but a lot was a little to complicated,
See zero didn't satisfiy me, a million didn't make me happy,
That's when I learned the lesson that its all about your perceptions,
Hey, are you a pauper or a super star so you act, so you feel, so you are,
It aint about the size of your car,
It's about the size of the faith in your heart

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...
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...
There's hope...

Off in the back country of Brazil,
I met a young brotha that made me feel that, that I could accomplish anything,
Ya 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 that he had no eye sight,
but that didn't keep him from seeing 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 is in your mind, you know that ....

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...
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...
There's hope...

Every time I turn on the t.v ( there's hope)
Somebody's acting crazy (there's hope)
If you let it'll drive you crazy (there's hope)
But I'm taking back my power today (there's hope)
Gas prices they just keep on rising (there's hope)
The government they keep on lying (there's hope)
But we gotta keep on surviving,
keep living our truth and do the best we can do because

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...
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...
There's hope...

Stand up for your rights, Keeping shining your life, and show the world your smile

Stand up for your rights, Keeping shining your life, and show the world your smile

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...
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...
There's hope...

Yea yea

There's hope


Enjoy the song...
