You Give Us Hope by The Madding Crowd Lyrics
You give us hope
You give us hope
You are so charming, calming, quite disarming
Better than most folk
And though the world
Is quite a joke
As long as you exist I know there will be hope
As long as you exist I know there will be hope
You knock the pain
Straight out my brain
And when I see you face I feel as though
I'm free to smile again
We all agree
The knees of bees
Would not be half as great as it comes
Naturally for you to be
You give us hope
You give us hope
You are so charming, calming, quite disarming
Better than most folk
And though the world
Is quite a joke
As long as you exist I know there will be hope
As long as you exist I know there will be hope
And if ever we are torn asunder
And forced on our own separate ways
Whenever I'm sad I will plunder
The memories of our glory days
That happen to be in the present
Life gets uglier by the day
But your kindness remains effervescent
So it gives me great pleasure to say...
You give us hope
You give us hope
You are so charming, calming, quite disarming
Better than most folk
And though the world
Is quite a joke
As long as you exist I know there will be hope
As long as you exist I know there will be hope
You give us hope!
You give us hope!
You give life purpose, sense and meaning so please
Don't you ever croak
From vagabond, up to the pope
Oh, we all love you because now there is some hope
You give us hope!
You give us hope!
If anyone thinks they are better
Then I'll gladly tell 'em nope
I wrote this song, to let you know
That you imbue in us a shining sense of hope
I'm saying thank you because now there is some hope
Please allow me this one proclamation
That I'll sing from the rooftops today
It's an honest form of celebration
Expressed in the purest of ways
I want you to know that the meaning
You bestow on our lives is a ray
Of hope in a world that is rotten
So it gives me great pleasure to say...
Oh, I want you to know that we say...
You give us hope!
You give us hope!
And I just know if we can keep in touch
I might stay off the rope
I couldn't cope
Should you elope
So stay right where you are and then there'll be some hope
You give us hope
You give us hope
You are so charming, calming, quite disarming
Better than most folk
And though the world
Is quite a joke
As long as you exist I know there will be hope
I'm saying thank you because now there is some hope
