Hope by Common Hymnal Lyrics
[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Bum-bum-ba-dum
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
One more time, yeah
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
[Verse 1]
Long live the people on the streets
Hustlin' all day to go home and feed their families
Just trying to make ends meet
They're grinding but their finding that they’re still facing defeat
Long live the people that don't feel equal
Workin' hard to pay the wages, others playing in casinos
Long live the ones on the run
I hope they find the love they're looking for and purpose they've been running from
[Chorus]
Everybody say
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh (Na-da-da-da-da)
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
[Verse 2]
God, would you open our eyes to the one's that've been despised
To the people crying out, they don't have a hand to hold at night
And tell them that there's hope in every situation
All this pain I'm facing
For every dream I'm chasing
There's ho-o-o-o-ope
There's hope in every situation
All this pain I'm facing
For every generation
There's ho-o-o-o-ope
[Chorus]
And we all sing
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
[Verse 3]
And so I lift my hands to the God that guides me
To the One that finds me
Even in my darkest days, He walks beside me singing
Songs of freedom, oh, He's singing songs of life
And they're leading me out of the darkness
And they're bringing me into the light
Hey, He never said it would be easy
Nah, He never said we would be safe
He never said the path were walking on
Oh, it wouldn't have hurdles to face
But the Lord did promise me freedom
The Lord did promise me strength
He said we soar on wings of eagles
And not grow weary or faint, yea-eah
[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Keep it going
[Bridge]
'Cause there's hope in every situation
All this pain I'm facing
For every dream I'm chasing
There's ho-o-o-o-ope
There's hope in every situation
All this pain I'm facing
For every generation
There's ho-o-o-o-ope
[Chorus]
And we all sing
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
[Ad-Libs]
[Chorus]
And we sing
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
[Outro]
And there's hope in every situation
All this pain I'm facing
For every dream I'm chasing
There's ho-o-o-o-ope
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Bum-bum-ba-dum
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
One more time, yeah
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
