[00:10.52]Back when I had a little
[00:13.68]I thought that I needed a lot
[00:16.86]A little was over rated,
[00:19.23]but a lot was a little too complicated
[00:22.43]You see-Zero didn't satisfy me
[00:25.10]A million didn't make me happy
[00:27.67]That's when I learned a lesson
[00:30.27]That it's all about your perception
[00:33.04]Hey-are you a papa or a superstar
[00:35.77]So you act, so you feel, so you are
[00:39.23]It ain't about the size of your car
[00:41.40]It's about the size of the faith in your heart
[00:44.14]
[00:44.86]There's hope
[00:46.17]It doesn't cost a thing to smile
[00:48.79]You don't have to pay to laugh
[00:51.55]You better thank God for that
[00:55.30]
[00:55.77]There's hope
[00:57.06]It doesn't cost a thing to smile
[00:59.50]You don't have to pay to laugh
[01:02.18]You better thank God for that
[01:06.30]
[01:06.49]There's hope
[01:06.64]
[01:06.93]Off in the back country of Brazil
[01:09.28]A met a young brotha that made me feel
[01:12.05]That I could accomplish anything.
[01:14.34]You see just like me he wanted to sing
[01:17.12]He had no windows and no doors
[01:20.28]He lived a simple life and was extremely poor
[01:22.75]On top of all of that he had no eye sight,
[01:25.39]but that didn't keep him from seein' the light
[01:28.10]He said, what's it like in the USA,
[01:32.03]and all I did was complain
[01:33.50]He said-livin' here is paridise
[01:36.12]He taught me paridise is in your mind
[01:38.41]You know that
[01:39.18]
[01:39.44]There's hope
[01:41.02]It doesn't cost a thing to smile
[01:43.59]You don't have to pay to laugh
[01:46.29]You better thank God for that

[02:01.93]
[02:02.89]Every time I turn on the T.V. (There's Hope)
[02:05.48]Somebody's acting crazy (There's Hope)
[02:08.34]If you let it, it will drive you crazy (There's Hope)
[02:10.93]but I'm takin' back my power today (There's Hope)
[02:12.53]Gas prices they just keep on rising (There's Hope)
[02:14.64]The government they keep on lying
[02:17.34]but we gotta keep on surviving
[02:20.45]Keep living our truth and do the best we can do
[02:23.43]
[02:23.65]There's hope
