[Verse 1:]
Back when I had a little
I thought that I needed a lot
little was over rated,
but a lot was a little [bad word] You see-Zero didn't satisfy me
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
 [bad word] ]
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
met a young brotha that made me feel
That I could [bad word] 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 [bad word] He said-livin' here is paridise
He taught me paridise is in your mind
You know that
 [bad word] 

[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 [bad word] and do the best we can do
 [bad word] 

Stand up for your rights [echo]
Keep shining your light [echo]
And show the world your smile [echo]
 [bad word]
