hope

by Jimi Hendrix

Let your love flow down
Let it fall to the ground
Therein lies the roots
Reaching for the stream
All I wanna do
Is keep on reaching through
Keep on reaching through
To the river wide and strong
It won't take long
We can all go together
If we just hold on
A new generation
And a brand new age
I wanna fall like rain
On burning pages
Rise from the ashes
Like a phoenix sun
Learning to flow
Searching for love
You know that I can't get enough of
Get enough of that hope
Oooh oooh oooh
Hope
Hope
Hope, yeah
Hope, yeah yeah
Hope
Hope, hey eh
I want my child to see the beauty of this place
To walk from the mountains, to the sea
Hope
Hope, yeah
Hope, yeah yeah
Hope, yeah yeah
Hope, hope... yeah, yeah
You know that I can't get enough of
Get enough of that hope
Oooh oooh
Hope
Oooh, yeah
Hope
Oooh oooh
Hope
Yeah eh
You know that I can't get enough of (x4)
I wanna promise you
Hope for a generation (x2)
I wanna promise you

Hope

by Jimmy eat world

Hope in my heart
As a new day has dawned
I see your light on the wings of a dove
Lifting me up as the dark clouds retreat
Courage transcends and you make me complete
Hope in my heart with the advent of spring
I am reborn with the love that you bring

Hope

In just a little while
In just a little while
In just a little while
In just a little while
Find it out, find it out
Just holding makes me better for it
Just holding makes me better for it
Just holding makes me better for it

Hope

by U2

I hope that the world stops raining
Stops turning it's back on the young
See nobody here is blameless
I hope that we can fix all that we've done
I really hope Martin can see this
I hope that we still have a dream
I'm hoping that change isn't hopless
I'm hoping to start it with me
I just hope I'm not the only one
I just hope I'm not the only one
I hope we start seeing forever
Instead of what we can gain in a day
I hope we start seeing each other
Cause don't we all bleed the same
I really hope someone can hear me
That a child doesn't bear the weight of a gun
I find the voice within me
To scream at the top of my lungs
I just hope I'm not the only one
I just hope I'm not the only one
Louder, I cannot hear you
How can things be better left unsaid
Call me, call me a dreamer
But it seems like dreams are all that we've got left
I hope we still have a heartbeat
I hope we don't turn to snow
A night when you turn the lights off
I hope you don't cry alone
I hope we stop taking for granted
All of the land and all of the sea
I'm taking a chance on loving
I hope that you take it with me
I just hope I'm not the only one
I just hope I'm not the only one
I just hope I'm not the only one

Hope

by Modest Mouse

So,
Tell me the truth.
What are we to do when all that's left of what we thought we knew has no proof and no reason to subside?
The lives that we have tried to make out own are tested by the force that's still unknown.
It takes one moment for the world to bring you swiftly to your knees.
The one component you should never let go is hope.
The view from far away has changed.
The road ahead may be long,
The race is not run.
Please do not delay for the battle is not yet won,
We will pray for him,
My son.
It's absurd!
The place I least expect to find a source of comfort in this mess is holding outstretched arms.
We haven't found a cure.
We're witnessing the human race fighting it's own war,
But there's still hope
The view from far away has changed.
The road ahead may be long,
The race is not run.
Please do not delay for the battle is not yet won,
We will pray for him,
My son.

Hope

by Missy Elliott

Hope is the thin I'm feeling today.
Walking a mile out of the way,
I still might make it though.
Turn on your street
And See a car.
Finding our home a house of pain
See in an instant
things can change
And never feel the same.
Turn on your street and see a car.
One where I thought mine should be parked.
If that's what you demand,
Then that's what I'll deliver.
If that's what you demand,
Then that's just what I'll give you.
Trenches dug out the side of the road.
Remember the smell of earth in piles.
And there was nothing else to do
But walk for miles.
So I walked for miles.
If that's what you demand,
Then that's what I'll deliver.
If that's what you demand,
Then that's just what I'll give you.
Turn on your street
And see a car.
Someone I thought was a friend
to me has ripped a hole in my life.
Someone I thought was a friend
to me has gone and married my wife.
If that's what you demand,
Then that's what I'll deliver.
If that's what you demand,
Then that's just what I'll give you.
If that's your master plan,
Then I wish you two the best together.

Hope

by Tantric

Torn, broke,
You wanted to be more.
If there's a time you felt like drinking
I bet it is now
And, then,
a moment in time comes
Events and actions move to shape us
Make a decision
Hope
Never lose what you see
All that is meant to be
You will find is more with
Hope
The moment is past it's gone
But you know
It will never be the same
Tired, gaunt,
you struggle all over the joint
Decide the grass is always greener
But all I know
Some, times, reality breaks down
Conversations in your head
Are taking the place of
Hope
Never lose what you see
All that is meant to be
You will find is more with
Hope
The moment is past, it's gone
But you know
It will never be the same
Do you feel alone now?
Do you think tomorrow won't be good?
You think that sometime, somehow
with the acid eyes that burn right through.
Hope
Never lose what you see
All that is meant to be
You will find is more with
Hope
The moment is past it's gone
But you know
It will never be the same

Hope

by Floetry

i feel the hope running low
we never found our way home
There is no more world
The land is gone
water is all that survived that one
there are no escapes
gone are the days of mistakes
our mistakes
and did you see
the night wore on
and became the days that never begun
The disappearing day
You know where I'm from
Is the only place that forever stays young
Lost at sea
we're lost at sea
I wouldn't know my face if you all were me
All we have is all we see
There is no more hope
There are no dreams
How can you say
You torture me
You're already thinking about someone else.
When he comes home you'll be in his arms and I'll be gone
But I know my day will come,
I know someday I'll be the only one.
So now you wait for a spark
You now it will turn you on.
He's gonna make you feel the way you want to feel
When he starts to lie
When he makes you cry
You'll now I'll be there
My day will come
I know someday
I'll be the only one
Call me selfish, call it what you like
I think it's righ to want someone for all your own
And not to share their love
But I'll have my way
You don't stand a chance anyway
Cause I got to you
you don't stand a chance
So now you wait for his cock
you know it will turn you on
He's gonna make you feel
The way you want to feel
When he starts to lie
When he makes you cry you'll now I'll be there
My day will come
I know someday I'll be the only one
My day will come
I know someday I'll be the only one
You say you want perfection
I see your self destruction
You don't know what you want
It's gonna take you a year to find out
I am not givin up
And when you've had enough
You take your bruised little head
And you'll come running back to me
I know that I will be the only one
Hope climbs atop of the piano
reaching out towards the warmth of the sun
some man tries to ask her down
but now maybe that's where she belongs
my god she said,
i'm the sunflower who wants
my god he said,
this woman is gone
into the dark
is there anybody there
my god she said
he climbed up top to find that she was slipping
Let her go, let her go, let me go
how long must we leave before we're winning
they don't know, they don't know they just don't know
If she can't be there I know it's best that
nothing is denied
If she can't be there it's best that
everyone change sides

Hope for a generation
Just beyond my reach
Not beyond my sight
Hope for a generation X6
I see it singing 'Hope for a generation'
Hope for a generation
I see it singing 'Hope for a generation' x8
I want to drip like honey from the honey bee
Walk from the river down to the sea
Fly through the face of a thundercloud
Break down
Down on the people that won't allow
Not gonna let them keep me
Not gonna let them hold me
Not gonna let them tempt me, no
A love for music x 2
The music is me
The music is you
The music can be
Something we do
The music is good
And the music right
Music can stand strong
Right through the night and
Music can hold you
And music can keep you
Safe from harm in her beautiful arms
Music is you
The thing we do
It's the thing we do x2
It's the thing we do to get me through x (however many)

Ain't no sunshine
Gonna take away this rain
Ain't no sunshine
Gonna take away this rain
I should have known you were
Gonna drift away
Ain't no sunshine
Ever gonna take this rain away
All I have's this hard drive
With no space left for a day
See how it becomes something
That we just put away
With this restlessness you can't sustain
And I guess you haven't seen enough
To make you wanna stay
Ain't no sunshine
Gonna take away this rain
Ain't no sunshine
Gonna take away this rain
You're going away now
But I'm not giving up
You're seventeen miles away
But I'm not giving up
Ain't no sunshine
Ever gonna take this rain away
Ain't no sunshine
Gonna take away this rain
VERSE 1 (Twista)
I wish the way I was living could stop, serving rocks,
Knowing the cops is hot when I’m on the block, And I
Wish my brother woulda made bail,
So I won’t have to travel 6 hours to see him in jail, And I
Wish that my grandmother wasn’t sick,
Or that we would just come up on some stacks and hit a lick, And I (I wish)
Wish my homies wouldn’t have to suffer,
When the streets get the upper hand on us and we lose a brother, And I
Wish I could go deep in a zone,
And lift the spirits of the world with the words with in this song, And I (I wish)
Wish I could teach a soul to fly,
Take away the pain out cha hands and help you hold them high, And I
Wish my homie butch was still alive
And on the day of his death we had never took that ride, And I
wish that God can protect us from the wrongs so that all the soldiers that were sent overseas come home, And uh
We will never break, though they devestate, we shall motivate,
And we gotta pray, all we got is faith.
Instead of thinking about who gonna die to day,
The Lord is gonna help you feel better, so you ain’t gotta cry today.
Sit at the light so long,
And then we gotta move straight forward, cuz we fight so strong,
So when right go wrong,
Just say a little prayer, get ya money man, life goes on
Let’s HOPE!
CHORUS (Faith Evans)
Cuz I’m hopeful, yes I am, hopeful for today,
Take this music and use it
Let it take you away,
And be hopeful, hopeful and He’ll make a way
I know it ain’t easy but that’s okay.
Cuz we hopeful!
VERSE 2 (Twista)
I wish that you could show some love,
Instead of hatin so much when you see some other people commin up (I wish)
I wish I could teach the world to sing,
Watch the music and have ‘em trippin of the joy I bring, (shiit)
I wish that we could hold hands,
Listen instead of dissin lessons from a grown man, And I (I wish)
Wish the families that lack, but got love, get some stacks
Brand new shack and a lack that’s on dubs, And I
Wish we could keep achieving wonders,
See the vision of the world through the eyes of Stevie Wonder, (you feel me) (I wish)
And I hope all the kids eat,
And don’t nobody in my family see six feet, (ya dig)
I hope them mothers stain’ strong,
You can make it whether you wit him or your mans gone, And I (I wish)
Wish I could give every celly some commissary,
And no po po bring the heat on our peace like they did R. Kelly, And I
Wish that DOC could scream again
And bullets could reverse so Pac and Biggie breathe again, (shit) (I wish)
Then one day they could speak again,
I wish that we only saw good news every time we look at CNN,
I wish we can never get the blues
Wish I can bring back the people that died at E2, (I wish)
I wish that we could walk a path, stay doin the right thing
Hustle hard so the kids maintain up in the game,
Let’s HOPE
CHORUS (Faith Evans)
Cuz I’m hopeful, yes I am, hopeful for today,
Take this music and use it
Let it take you away,
And be hopeful, hopeful and He’ll make a way
I know it ain’t easy but that’s okay.
Cuz we hopeful!
VERSE 3 (Twista)
Wish the earth wasn’t so apocalyptic,
I try to spread my message to the world the best way I can give it,
We can make it always be optimistic,
If you don’t listen gotta live my life the best way I can live it,
I pray for justice when we go to court,
Wish it was all good so the country never even went to war,
Why can’t we kick it and just get em on,
And in the famous words of Mr. King “Why can’t we all just get along”,
Or we can find a better way to shop and please, And I
Hope we find a better way to cop a keys, And I
Wish everybody would just stop and freeze,
And ask way are we fulfillin these downfalls and these prophecies,
You can be wrong if it’s you doubting,
With the faith of a mustard seed you can move mountains,
And only the heavenly Father can ease the hurt,
Just let it go and keep prayin on your knees in church
And let’s HOPE
CHORUS (Faith Evans) X 2
Cuz I’m hopeful, yes I am, hopeful for today,
Take this music and use it
Let it take you away,
And be hopeful (hopeful) and He’ll make a way
I know it ain’t easy but that’s okay.
Cuz we hopeful!

Shadow walks faster than you
You don`t really know what to do
Do you think that you`re not alone?
You really think that you are immune to
Its gonna get that the best of you
Its gonna lift you up and let you down
It will defeat you then teach you to get back up
After it takes away all that
You learn to love
Your reflection is a blur
Out of focus
But in confusion
The frames are suddenly burnt
And in the end of a roll of illusion
A ghost waiting its turn
Now I can see right through
It`s a warning that nobody heard
It will teach you to love what you`re afraid of
After it takes away all that
You learn to love
But you don`t
Always
Have to hold your head
Higher than your heart
You better hope you`re not alone
You better hope you`re not alone
You better hope you`re not alone
You better hope you`re not alone
You better hope you`re not alone
You better hope you`re not alone
You better hope you`re not alone
You better be hoping you`re not so
Du du rut
Hope you`re not alone
Hmm hmm humm
Your -
Your echo comes back out of tune
Now you can quite get used to it
Reverb is just a room
The problem is that there`s no truth
It fading way too soon
The shadow is on the move
And maybe you should be moving too
Before it takes away all that you learned to love
It will defeat you and then teach you to get back up
Cause you don`t
Always
Have to hold your head
Higher than your heart
You better hope you`re not alone
You better hope you`re not alone
You better hope you`re not alone
You better be hoping you`re alone
You better hope you`re not alone
You better hope you`re not alone
You better hope you`re not alone
You better hope you`re not so
Du ru ru ru ru
Hope you`re not alone
Hmm hmmm hmmmm
Better hooope
Huuu huuu hmmm
Better hope you`re not alone
Huuu huuu hmmm

A candle in a window Lonely sign of life Will there be some truth inside Or just another knife
Her silhouette Empty Face is hollow inside Shadows caused by candle light Have no depth or pride
A candle in the window Flickers through the night If it ever burns down to the base The world will see no light For light is a creation With no light you cannot see Oh for thousands that have lived in The dark The light will set them free

Call and anywhere
I would go
Call and anywhere

All I'll ever have
I offer
All I need is hope
Call and anywhere
I would go
Call and anywhere
I would go
All I ever am
I offer
All I need is hope

Hope

by Queen

Why can't you see
You torture me
You're already thinking about someone else
When he comes home you'll be in his arms
And I'll be gone, but I know
My day will come
I know someday
I'll be the only one
So now you wait for his spark
You know it'll turn you on
He's gonna make you feel
The way you want to feel
When he starts to lie
When he makes you cry
You know I'll be there
My day will come
I know someday
I'll be the only one
Call me selfish call me what you like
I think it's right
To want someone for all your own
And not to share her love
And I'll have my way
You won't have a say
Anyway
I've got you
You don't stand a chance
So now you wait for his cock
You know it'll turn you on
He's gonna make you feel
The way you want to feel
When he starts to lie
When he makes you cry
You know I'll be there
My day will come
I know someday
I'll be the only one
My day will come
I know someday
I'll be the only one
So now you want perfection
I see your self destruction
You don't know what you want
It's gonna take you years to find out
I'm not giving up
And when you've had enough
You'll take your bruised little head
And you'll come running back to me
You know that I'm gonna be the only one

Step Forward Youth
At The Moment Of Truth
Don't Be Distracted
Don't Be The Fool.
Step Forward Youth
At The Moment Of Truth
Go Beyond The Senses
Get A Clear View
When You're Deafened By The Sound Of Betrayal
And There's No One Left To Trust
Falling Off The End Of The Scale
You Carry On Because You Must
When You're Down To The Last Of Your Senses
And The Pain Is Brokin' Out Of Thoughts
Somehow You've Got To Pull Yourself Together,
You've Got To Make Good Of All The Things, You've Been Taught
When You're Deafened By The Sound Of Betrayal
And There's No One Left To Trust
Falling Off The End Of The Scale
You Carry On Because You Must
Just When They Think It's All Over
Just When You Think You're Falling Back In Line
Maybe Just A Small Word To A Young Child
Maybe Just A Moment Of Peace, In Your Mind

Hope

by Bee gees

[x3] Here's my version of it, eternal whirlwind
What's the lesser of two evils:
If a suicide bomber
Made to look pregnant
Manages to kill her target
Or not?
What's the lesser of two evils?
What's the lesser of two evils:
If she kills them
Or dies in vain?
Nature has fixed no limits on our hopes
What's the lesser of two evils?
What's the lesser of two evils:
If the bomb was fake
Or if it was real?
Here's my version of it
Eternal whirlwind
I have fostered since childhood
Well I don't care
Love is all
I dare to drown
To be proven wrong

It will defeat you and then teach you to get back up
Cause you don’t
Always
Have to hold your head
Higher than your heart
You better hope you’re not alone
You better hope you’re not alone
You better hope you’re not alone
You better be hoping you’re alone
You better hope you’re not alone
You better hope you’re not alone
You better hope you’re not alone
You better hope you’re not so…
Du ru ru ru ru
Hope you’re not alone
Hmm hmmm hmmmm
Better hooope
Huuu huuu hmmm
Better hope you’re not alone
Huuu huuu hmmm
hooope

by Saturdays

Every day, every night, feeling no better...feeling alright
We're made of METAL, harder than steel...
Making it better, by keeping it real
HOPE
Every night, every day, every action in every way
I am everything that you want me to be...watch me learn
I AM - WHAT I'VE BECOME
I HAVE...
NO HOPE...NO FAITH IN YOUR HOPE
HOPE (falls into my hands)
Every day and every night...
Infinitely moving through every finite
I AM EVERYTHING, I AM EVERYWHERE
Watch me burn...WATCH ME LEARN!!!
I AM - WHAT I'VE BECOME (BECAUSE I AM)
I HAVE...NO HOPE...
NO FAITH IN YOU
And WE are NOT the SAME
FIRE!
I AM - WHAT I'VE BECOME (BECAUSE I AM)
I HAVE...NO HOPE...
NO FAITH IN YOU
And WE are NOT the SAME
BUT I HAVE LEARNED RESPECT

[Intro: Chrisette Michele]
Hip-Hop - it will never die
Hip-Hop - Hip-Hop will never, never die
[Verse 1: Nas]
Ghetto niggaz struttin' with nothin' but dreams and Queens broke
Mack-10's, you can smell the PCP smoke
Mele Mel told it real in the music he wrote
Those were the days I remember
We used to be close, then I was nine, coldest winter I remember
Was slippin' in December, two feet of snow
Yeah, that's the East Coast, that black ice
Symbolized the rap life
It was slick and smooth
I understood I had to come from the hood
Doin' the Pee Wee Herman, the Smurf
Before them phones chirped
The block's drugs flowin', didn't have your own work
You had to have somebody else's, a small chrome on your pelvis
Starter Jacket, Blue Georgetown or Green Celtic
Your girl's too expensive, she wants shellfish
Red Lobster was poppin', standin' on that line forever
I wish somebody would step on my Bally leather's
Now it's whatever... hip-hop's forever
Kept my radio on 98 or BLS
Had a pre-pubescent lyric gift but niggaz never hear me spit
My little brother tried to warn 'em, I was a tornado comin'
He knew from inside, like the eye of a storm
And told my pops about it
He gave us tickets to that Wild Style flick
Double Trouble, retarded, we was the proudest
I never had a summer job
Sweepin' leaves, socks to my knees
Homemade shorts cutoff, Lee's
I ain't work a day in my life
Wipin' away eraser of the paper man
I'm just tryin' to say it right
Big radio, tape slowin' down
Lower the lights go, battery dead
I gotta freeze 'em 'til they ice cold
In the freezer later, I'm starin' at the speaker
Sunk in them 808's deeper, cleanin' my sneakers
Wit the bristles of a toothbrush, soap and water
I let the shoe strings soak in water...
[Chorus is sung over Nas outro]
[Chorus: Chrisette Michele]
Live hip-hop live, live hip-hop live
Give hip-hop give, give hip-hop give
Stay hip-hop stay, stay hip-hop stay
I pray, hip-hop pray, I pray hip-hop stays
[Outro: Nas]
Ain't got nothin' to do wit old school, new school
Dirty South, West Coast, East Coast
This about us, this our thing, 'knaw'sayin'?
This came from the gut, from the blood, from the soul
Right here man, this is our thing man
You know, so I say what I say
And I say what I say, and I mean it
Y'all take it how you wanna take it
Cause if you're askin' - Why is hip-hop dead?
It's a pretty good chance you're the reason it died, man
It's a pretty good chance your lame ass, corny ass, is the reason it died, man
You don't give a fuck about, you don't know nothin' about it
You want this paper, be a hustler
You a hustler, you ain't a rapper
Get your paper man
YouknowwhatI'msayin, but this rap shit is real
Bitch, this shit is real, bitch, ha-ha
[Chorus: Chrisette Michele]
Live hip-hop live, (Stay) live hip-hop live
Give hip-hop give, give hip-hop give
Stay hip-hop stay, (Live) stay hip-hop stay (Live)
I pray, hip-hop pray, I pray hip-hop stays
Live hip-hop live, (Stay) live hip-hop live
Give hip-hop give, give hip-hop give
Stay hip-hop stay, stay hip-hop stay
I pray, hip-hop pray, I pray hip-hop stays

Hope

by Genesis

I was not put here by anyone in fear
I came alone as me
Just an idea in a long chain of discovery
Surrounded by the same you
Sometimes your tide pulls me out to sea
And I die in a thrashing curse
Sometimes we are kind
More often, I doze
So far up the beach that those who try to reach are burnt alive in the searing
heat of the desert of my dispassion
So far removed, I never hear the water
'Cept once or twice a month when I see a mirror
And I refuse to believe in some of the things that are said to be here
Let alone those that are not
I'm trying to change my direction
Ours is pathetic in my own humble estimation
I love the planet
The great benign she-wolf
Benefactor
Spinning gently on towards the red giant four aeons hence
When all the rose gardens are consumed in the flash-fire of flying time
She'll leave alone to you
When you look at me
From your own century
I may seem to be
Strange archeology
But when the winds blow
From this direction
You may sense that I'm
In your reflection
I think I feel you
But I will never know
As the swallows leave
And the children grow
I wanted to live forever
The same as you will too
I wanted to live forever
And everybody knew
When I caught you there
In tomorrows mirror
I thought I felt you
Jump out of my skin
Throwing oil into
My blazing memories
Filling empty footsteps
I was standing in
I wanted to live forever
The same as you will too
I wanted to live forever
And everybody knew
As the falling rain
Of the northern jungle
Hanging droplets on the leaves
Bombards my brain
I hear you
Across the room
A sea of daffodils spring into bloom
You are the mist
The frost across my window pane
And again
She moves her body
And her whispers weave
And the world spins
And tells me that I'll never want to leave
As I think of you
From this dark century
I will always be
With generosity
That we both may share
The hope in hearing
That we're not just
Spirits disappearing
[Spoken word transcribed by Phil Morgan. These aren't a part of the original lyrics of Hope]

Hope

by Rihanna

[Verse 1 (Twista)]
I wish the way I was living could stop, serving rocks,
Knowing the cops is hot when I'm on the block, And I
Wish my brother woulda made bail,
So I won't have to travel 6 hours to see him in jail, And I
Wish that my grandmother wasn't sick,
Or that we would just come up on some stacks and hit a lick, And I (I wish)
Wish my homies wouldn't have to suffer,
When the streets get the upper hand on us and we lose a brother, And I
Wish I could go deep in a zone,
And lift the spirits of the world with the words with in this song, And I (I wish)
Wish I could teach a soul to fly,
Take away the pain out cha hands and help you hold them hi, And I
Wish my hommie Butch was still alive
And on the day of his death we had never took that ride, And I (I wish)
Wish God could protect us from the wrong
So that all the solders that were sent over seas come home
We will never break, though they devastate, we shall motivate,
And we gotta pray, all we got is faith.
Instead of thinking about who gonna die to day,
The Lord is gonna help you feel better, so you ain't gotta cry today.
Sit at the light so long,
And then we gotta move straight forward, cuz we fight so strong,
So when right go wrong,
Just say a little prayer, get ya money man, life go on!!!
Let's HOPE!
[Chorus (Faith Evans)]
Cuz I'm hopeful, yes I am, hopeful for today,
Take this music and use it
Let it take you away,
And be hopeful (hopeful) and he'll make a way
I know it ain't easy but that's okay.
Cause we hopeful
[Verse 2 (Twista)]
I wish that you could show some love,
Instead of hatin so much when you see some other people commin up (I wish)
I wish I could teach the world to sing,
Watch the music and have 'em trippin of the joy I bring, (shiit)
I wish that we could hold hands,
Listen instead of dissin lessons from a grown man, And I (I wish)
Wish the families that lack, but got love, get some stacks
Brand new shack and a lack that's on dubs, And I
Wish we could keep achieving wonders,
See the vision of the world through the eyes of Stevie Wonder, (you feel me) (I wish)
And I hope all the kids eat,
And don't nobody in my family see six feet, (ya dig)
I hope them mothers stain' strong,
You can make it whether you wit him or your mans gone, And I (I wish)
Wish I could give every celly some commissary,
And the po po bring the heat on them priest like they did R. Kelly, And I
Wish that DOC could scream again
And bullets could reverse so Pac and Biggie breath again, (shit) (I wish)
Then one day they could speak again,
I wish that we only saw good news every time we look at CNN,
I wish that we could never get the blues,
Wish I could bring back the people that died, Eddy too
I wish that we could walk a path, stay doin the right thing
Hustle hard so the kids maintain up in the game,
Let's HOPE
[Chorus (Faith Evans)]
Cuz I'm hopeful, yes I am, hopeful for today,
Take this music and use it
Let it take you away,
And be hopeful (hopeful) and he'll make a way
I know it ain't easy but that's okay.
Cause we hopeful
[Verse 3 (Twista)]
Wish the earth wasn't so apocalyptic,
I try to spread my message to the world the best way I can give it,
We can make it always so optimistic,
If you don't listen gotta live my life the best way I can live it,
I pray for justice when we go to court,
Wish it was all good so the country never even went to war
Why can't we kick it and just get em on,
And in the famous words of Mr. King "Why can't we all just get along",
Or we can find a better way to shop and please, And I
Hope we find a better way to cop a keys, And I
Wish everybody would just stop and freeze,
And ask way are we fulfillin these downfalls and prophecies,
You can be wrong if it's you doubting,
With the faith of a mustard seed you can move mountains,
And only the heavenly father and ease the hurt,
Just let it go and keep prayin on your knees in church!!
And let's HOPE
[Chorus (Faith Evans) X2]
Cuz I'm hopeful, yes I am, hopeful for today,
Take this music and use it
Let it take you away,
And be hopeful (hopeful) and he'll make a way
I know it ain't easy but that's okay.

Hope

by A-HA

(Buck/Mills/Stipe/Leonard Cohen)
You want to go out Friday
And you want to go forever
You know that it sounds childish
That you dreamt of alligators
You hope that we are with you
And you hope you're recognized
You want to go forever
You see it in my eyes
I'm lost in the confusion
And it doesn't seem to matter
You really can't believe it
And you hope it's getting better
You want to trust the doctors
Their procedure is the best
But the last try was a failure
And the intern was a mess
And they did the same to Matthew
And he bled 'til Sunday night
They're saying don't be frightened
But you're weakened by the sight of it
You lock into a pattern
And you know that it's the last ditch
You're trying to see through it
And it doesn't make sense
But they're saying don't be frightened
And they're killing alligators
And they're hog-tied
And accepting of the struggle
You want to trust religion
And you know it's allegory
But the people who are followers
Have written their own story
So you look up to the heavens
And you hope that it's a spaceship
And it's something from your childhood
You're thinking don't be frightened
You want to climb the ladder
You want to see forever
You want to go out Friday
And you want to go forever
And you want to cross your DNA
To cross your DNA with something reptile
And you're questioning the sciences
And questioning religion
You're looking like an idiot
And you no longer care
And you want to bridge the schism,
A built-in mechanism to protect you
And you're looking for salvation
And you're looking for deliverance
You're looking like an idiot
And you no longer care
'Cause you want to climb the ladder
You want to go forever
And you want to go out Friday
You want to go forever
Surrounded by family and friends
I picture what life's like at your end
In my dreams i cannot imagine
The horror you must have seen
If I could send these words to you
I know they probably won't do
I try to give some conforting,
But I don't know what do
One thing is for sure
I will be there for you
Hope is the last thing you cannot give up
Faith keeps us strong through it all
To all of you out there who have lost
We cannot predict what it will cost
Missing your parents or your children
Too much to comprehend
I feel a constant need to help
What more than money can be sent?
Where will I find the words of comfort
I don't know what to do
One thing is for sure
I will be there for you
Hope is the last thing you cannot give up
Faith keeps us strong through it all
Can anybody please tell me what it's about
Helpless people dying, I just wanna shout
Is this something you are trusted to really see
I see no solution, so what can it be?
Hope is the last thing you cannot give up
Faith keeps us strong through it all

Hope Lyrics
I'm feeling like I'm still in the same old situation
I'm speaking but no one's listening, it's the same old conversation
But I know there's no hope
But I know there's no hope
I'm waiting for something, something to happen
I'm hating procrastinating but I can't find the motivation
But you know there's no hope
But you know there's no hope
And you can't believe you're walking through this hell
Cause all you wish to be - wish you were someone else
And all hope's lost again
I'm seeing but not believing, is it just my imagination ?
I'm dreaming of devastation of this whole entire generation
But we know there's no hope
But we know there's no hope

Hope

by Saves the day

I remember, wasn't so long ago
We had a one room shack and the livin' was low
And my mama by herself raised me and my bro
Wasn't easy, but we did it with the little that go
Worked hard got us off to school every day
And kept her eyes on the stars when the skies were gray
Gave us pride to survive, really showed us the way
Now I really understood what she was tryin' to say
She said, "Son there'll be times when the tides are high
And the boat may be rocky, you can cry
Just never give up
You can never give up," uh-uh
In this life you could lead if you only believe
And in order to achieve what you need
You can never give up
You can never give up
And this hope
That keep me holding on
On and on
And this hope
That makes me carry on
On and on
Boom-boom, couldn't have made it alone
I got a wonderful life, two kids on my own
With a strong foundation that was carved in stone
And my mama for the love that made my house a home
Made me wonder some time if this was meant to be
All this for a humble little guy like me
And all I ever really wanted was a family
To teach my kids the same value that she gave to me
She said, Son there'll be times when the tides are high
And the boat may be rocky, you can cry
Just never give up
You can never give up, uh-uh
In this life you could lead if you only believe
And in order to achieve what you need
You can never give up
You can never give up
And this hope
That keep me holding on
And on
And this hope
That makes me carry on
On and on
Me not gonna suffer, things are for better
Never make you ? by the pleasure
??
See the man and watch ?
Blaze like fire, we nah go retire
Got nuff sleep and I am a expire
We haf a retire, that we require
We haf a make a mark before the time is gone
And this hope
That keep me holding on
And on
And this hope
That makes me carry on
On and on
And this hope
That keep me holding on
And on
And this hope
That makes me carry on
On and on
There's hope, yeah
Hope keeps it alive, yeah, uh
Hope keeps it alive, yeah, uh
And it strikes an iron, uh
Hope keeps it alive, yeah, yeah
Hope keeps it alive, yeah
Only the strong survive, yeah
Keep it carry on, keep it carry on, yeah
Uh-uh
I'll keep it carry on, yeah
I gotta carry on, gotta carry on and be strong
Uh-uh-uh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, uh-uh
And this hope
That keep me holding on
And on
And this hope
That makes me carry on
On and on

Here's my version of it, eternal whirlwind
What's the lesser of two evils:
If a suicide bomber
made to look pregnant
manages to kill her target
or not?
What's the lesser of two evils?
What's the lesser of two evils:
if she kills them
or dies in vain?
Nature has fixed no limits on our hopes
What's the lesser of two evils?
What's the lesser of two evils:
If the bomb was fake
or if it was real?
Here's my version of it
eternal whirlwind
I have fostered since childhood
Well I don't care
love is all
I dare to drown
to be proven wrong

[Originally by Descendents]
Why can't you see you torture me?
You're already thinking 'bout someone else
When he comes home you'll be in his arms
And i'll be gone
But i know, my day will come
I know someday, i'll be the only one
You wait for his spark
You know it'll turn you on
He's gonna make you feel
The way you wanna feel
When he starts to lie,
Makes you cry,
You know i'll be there
My day will come
I know someday i'll be the only one
Call me selfish
Call me what you like
I think its right
To want someone for all your own
And not share her love
And i'll have my way
And you won't have a say
Anyway
You don't stand a chance!
You wait for his cock
You know it'll turn you on
He's gonna make you feel
The way you wanna feel
When he starts to lie,
Makes you cry,
You know i'll be there
My day will come
I know someday i'll be the only one
My day will come
I know someday i'll be the only one
You want perfection
See your self-destruction
You don't know what you want
It's gonna take you years to find out!
Not giving up
And when you've had enough
You'll take your bruised little head and
You'll come running right back to me!
I will be the only one,
I will be the only one...

Hope

by Chico Buarque

Let me come and break the night
I wanna come and fuck away the night
I can make out the vague screams of trees
As they burn and die
Will I watch it leave so boundless and so free
Drifting carelessly I snuff with whispers so gently
I hope
All I do is hope
Let me come wash away your fears
We go play in the tides of tears
This seems like the year that I will rip off all my skin
And then I'll be exposed to those stars up in the sky
And they will blow no wind
I would have to shed my light
I hope
All I do is hope for the blind man
Hope for the crippled man
Hope for the dry old smile
All I do is hope
I watch the leaf, boundless and free
Drifting so carelessly ready for bed
Trees they scream, boundless and free
They scream so gently
That this love will never die
This love will never die
Hope for the the blind man
This love will never die
Hope for the the blind man
This love will never die
Hope for the the blind man
This love will never die
I hope
All I do is hope for the blind man
Hope for the crippled man
Hope she will smile again
All I do is hope
Hope it’s all the I have
The calm in the storm
Is right where I am
Inside of hope
It’s all that I know
It’s what I’m moved for
It’s what I live for
Wave goodbye to a time
That you once believed was everything
I’m ready to live
I’m ready to dream
I’m ready for fear, and love and everything between
Don’t tell me I’m right
Don’t tell me I’m wrong
Just tell me I’m strong enough for one more song
And this could be the one to say it right
Bringing warmth into the night
I’m going to broke, but I’ve got hope
The sound it’s all around
And we can be found
All in good time.
I’m forgiving yesterday
Wishing yesterday would forgive me, but I’ll never see
So wave goodbye to a time
That you once believed was everything
I’m ready to live
I’m ready to dream
I’m ready for fear, love and everything between
Don’t tell me I’m right
Don’t tell me I’m wrong
Just tell me I’m strong enough for one more song
And this could be the one to say it right
Bringing warmth into the night
I’m going to broke, but I’ve got hope
I’m ready to live, I live for hope.
I’m ready to live, I live for hope.
I’m ready to live
I’m ready to dream
I’m ready for fear, love and everything between
Don’t tell me I’m right
Don’t tell me I’m wrong
Just tell me I’m strong enough for one more song
And this could be the one to say it right
Bringing warmth into the night
I’m going to broke, but I’ve got hope
Yeah, I’ve got hope.

Loosing
Got a feeling we're holding
The wrong end of the line
We're dealing day's but we ain't dealing time
Go on fake it cause you're not gonna make it tonight
Better sit back and kick your boots away
Hope for tomorrow, hope for a new day, yeah
Bleeding
Nothing quite went right after Eden
Your neighbour doesn't know
But he's a Heathen
He broke his mind on what he's been reading
He'd better sit back and kick his head away
Hope for tomorrow, hope for yesterday, yeah
And you're all alone trying to make it better
'Cos you're all alone trying to fit the pieces
And you're all alone killing leaches
And you're all alone trying to make it better
In your heart
Loosing
Feeling we're holding
The wrong end of the line
Dealing day's but we ain't dealing time
Go on fake it cause you're not gonna make it tonight
Better sit back and kick your boots away
Hope for tomorrow, hope for a new day, yeah

You want to go out Friday
And you want to go forever
You know that it sounds childish
That you dreamt of alligators
You hope that we are with you
And you hope you're recognized
You want to go forever
You see it in my eyes
I'm lost in the confusion
And it doesn't seem to matter
You really can't believe it
And you hope it's getting better
You want to trust the doctors
Their procedure is the best
But the last try was a failure
And the intern was a mess
And they did the same to Matthew
And he bled 'til Sunday night
They're saying don't be frightened
But you're weakened by the sight of it
You lock into a pattern
And you know that it's the last ditch
You're trying to see through it
And it doesn't make sense
But they're saying don't be frightened
And they're killing alligators
And they're hog-tied
And accepting of the struggle
You want to trust religion
And you know it's allegory
But the people who are followers
Have written their own story
So you look up to the heavens
And you hope that it's a spaceship
And it's something from your childhood
You're thinking don't be frightened
You want to climb the ladder
You want to see forever
You want to go out Friday
And you want to go forever
And you want to cross your DNA
To cross your DNA with something reptile
And you're questioning the sciences
And questioning religion
You're looking like an idiot
And you no longer care
And you want to bridge the schism,
A built-in mechanism to protect you
And you're looking for salvation
And you're looking for deliverance
You're looking like an idiot
And you no longer care
'Cause you want to climb the ladder
You want to go forever
And you want to go out Friday
You want to go forever

here's my version of it, internal whirlwind
here's my version of it, internal whirlwind
here's my version of it, internal whirlwind
whats the lesser of 2 evils?
if a suicide bomber made to look pregnant
manages to kill her target or not?
whats the lesser of 2 evils?
whats the lesser of 2 evils?
if she kills them or dies in vain?
nature has fixed no limits on our hopes
whats the lesser of 2 evils?
whats the lesser of 2 evils?
if her bump was fake or if it was real?
here's my version of it, internal whirlwind
I have fostered since childhood
well, I don't care
love is all
I dare to drown
to be proven wrong

[Twista talking]
Man, I know we had a lot of tragedies lately.
I just wanna say rest in peace to Aaliyah,
Rest in peace to Left Eye,
Rest in peace to Jam Master Jay,
And everybody lost in the Twin Towers,
And everybody lost period.
All we got is HOPE!!
[VERSE 1 (Twista)]
I wish the way I was living could stop, serving rocks,
Knowing the cops is hot when I'm on the block, And I
Wish my brother woulda made bail,
So I won't have to travel 6 hours to see him in jail, And I
Wish that my grandmother wasn't sick,
Or that we would just come up on some stacks and hit a lick, And I (I wish)
Wish my homies wouldn't have to suffer,
When the streets get the upper had on us and we lose a brother, And I
Wish I could go deep in a zone,
And lift the spirits of the world with the words with in this song, And I (I wish)
Wish I could teach a could teach a soul to fly,
Take away the pain out cha hands and help you hold them hi, And I
Wish God never gave the men power
To be able to hurt the people inside the Twin Towers, And I (I wish)
Wish God woulda turned they hearts righteous,
When they started to take innocent lives and become snipers, But uh
We will never break, don't underestimate, we shall motivate,
And we gotta pray, all we got is faith.
Instead of thinking about who gonna die to day,
The Lord is gonna help you feel better, so you ain't gotta cry today.
Sit at the light so long,
And then we gotta move straight forward, cuz we fight so strong,
So when right go wrong,
Just say a little prayer, get ya money man, life go on!!!
Let's HOPE!
[CHORUS (Cee-Lo)]
Cuz I'm hopeful, yes I am, hopeful for today,
Take this music and use it
Let it take you away,
And be hopeful (hopeful) and he'll make a way
I know it ain't easy but that's okay.
Let's be hopeful!
[VERSE 2 (Twista)]
I wish that you could show some love,
Instead of hatin so much when you see some other people commin up (I wish)
I wish I could teach the world to sing,
Watch the music and have 'em trippin of the joy I bring, (shiit)
I wish that we could hold hands,
Listen instead of dissin lessons from a grown man, And I (I wish)
Wish the families that lack, but got love, get some stacks
Brand new shack and a lack that's on dubs, And I
Wish we could keep achieving wonders,
See the vision of the world through the eyes of Stevie Wonder, (you feel me) (I wish)
And I hope all the kids eat,
And don't nobody in my family see six feet, (ya dig)
I hope them mothers stain' strong,
You can make it whether you wit him or your mans gone, And I (I wish)
Wish I could give every celly some commissary,
And the po po bring the heat on them priest like they did R. Kelly, And I
Wish that DOC could scream again
And bullets could reverse so Pac and Biggie breath again, (shit) (I wish)
Then one day they could speak again,
I wish that we only saw good news every time we look at CNN,
I wish that enemies could talk,
And that super homie Christopher Reeves could still walk, (I wish)
I wish that we could walk a path, stay doin the right thing
Hustle hard so the kids maintain up in the game,
Let's HOPE
[CHORUS (Cee-Lo)]

[VERSE 3 (Twista)]
Wish the earth wasn't so apocalyptic,
I try to spread my message to the world the best way I can give it,
We can make it always so optimistic,
If you don't listen gotta live my life the best way I can live it,
I pray for justice when we go to court,
Wish it was all good so the country wouldn't have to go to war,
Why can't we kick it and just get em on,
And in the famous words of Mr. King "Why can't we all just get along",
Or we can find a better way to shop and please, And I
Hope we find a better way to cop a keys, And I
Wish everybody would just stop and freeze,
And ask way are we fulfillin these downfalls and prophecies,
You can be wrong if it's you doubting,
With the faith of a mustard seed you can move mountains,
And only the heavenly father and ease the hurt,
Just let it go and keep prayin on your knees in church!!
And let's HOPE
[CHORUS (Cee-Lo) X2]
Cuz I'm hopeful, yes I am, hopeful for today,
Take this music and use it
Let it take you away,
And be hopeful (hopeful) and he'll make a way

I've watched the strongest fall,
it's been too much to take
tonight, tonight
Come back for the rest of me,
I think I'm going to break
tonight, tonight
And the rain came down and I'm on my knees again,
If theres hope I need it,
hope I need it
It's an awful shame,
the way you went away
It's an awful shame,
Give me hope for whats to come,
I'll see your face
when I sleep again
tonight, tonight
Save me,
Save yourself
Save me,
Save yourself
And the rain came down and I'm on my knees again,
If theres hope I need it,
hope I need it
It's an awful shame,
the way you went away
It's an awful shame,
Whats happened to me,
I'm on my fucking knees,
so what is left for me,
for me
And the rain came down and I'm on my knees again,
If theres hope I need it,
hope I need it
It's an awful shame,
the way you went away
It's an awful shame,

When life's got you down and you can't make a sound
Cause love has forsaken you
When you're burning on fire but have no desire
To put out the flames and move
You gotta have hope
You gotta have something
There's always a reason to break
Hope
Cause nothing less
Will save the day
When you are in pain then step off the train
Nobody's waiting for you
You can knock down each door of old metaphors
Or embrace the cold hard truth
But you gotta have hope
You gotta have something
there's always a reason to break
Hope
Cause nothing less
Will save the day
I see that look in your eyes
I've seen it before
Each to our own disguise
If you need me babe
You're not alone, no, no
When life's got you down and you can't make a sound
cause despair has stolen your song
but raise up your fist and into the abyss
Scream, Coward, get of my lawn
Hope
Something
There's always a reason to break
Hope
Cause nothing less will save the day
