Album Lookin' for Love

Lyrics

Looking for hope in a hopeless world
Searching for love in such hateful times
Looking for hope in a hopeless world
Tryin' to ease my mind, ease my mind
A baby is born in New York City
Wrapped in a blanket that's tattered and worn
Mama's doing the best she can
Finding hope in a hopeless world
Her eldest son stayed in school
Listened to mama, didn't drink or use
Yet every job he wants he gets refused
It takes hope in a hopeless world
Looking for hope in a hopeless world
Searching for love in such hateful times
Looking for hope in a hopeless world
Tryin' to ease my mind, ease my mind
On the corner stands a young girl
The home she left was from a better part of town
Her daddy did things she can't talk about
Is there hope in a hopeless world
Got a quarter for the homeless man
Spare some change for a solider who fought the war
Put some money in those hats and those tins
Give them hope in a hopeless world
Trying to stay strong in a hopeless world
Searching for love in such hateful times
Looking for hope in a hopeless world
Tryin' to ease my mind, ease my mind
You gotta listen to the voice inside to that speaks of love
Don't compromise, realize
Time is passing by, there are mountains to climb
Can't be standing, can't be standing still
From the souls of millions let the prayers be heard
All nations together in unity
The golden rule for all humanity
Teach us hope in a hopeless world
Looking for hope in a hopeless world
I'm searching for love in such hateful times
Looking for hope in a hopeless world
Looking for love, looking for love and tryin' to ease my mind
I am looking for hope in a hopeless world
Is there hope in a hopeless world
Searching for love in hateful times
I'm trying to ease my mind
Looking, I'm looking, I'm looking for hope
Somebody tell me where the hope is
Somebody tell me where the love is
Somebody, somebody, won't you stand up
Brother, sister
We gotta find hope in a hopeless world
Love in such hateful times
Hope in a hopeless world
Ah ... ease my mind
I gotta find hope
I'm looking for hope, fm looking for hope
I'm looking for hope in a hopeless world
Searching for love in such hateful times ...
