City of Hope

People waiting for some kind of sign from above
Lost in the shadows of doubt, need a message of love
Nothing is certain in uncertain times
Hard to see beyond the greed and the crime

Oh, the faithful refuse to give up
Homeless and hungry survive just enough
Learn to smile through it all
They are blessed from above

Never stop believin', change will come
There's a city of hope beyond our fears
Where miracles happen, where truth can be heard
Don't you wanna go to the city of hope
Founded on faith, connecting us all
A network of love to answer the call
Yeah, that's where I am from
The city of hope

On the edge of the world, across oceans of blue
It's a place where a dream has a chance to come true
Don't be fooled by illusions or falling from grace
Make your own destiny, find your own place
Where the streets beat the lessons of trouble open play

Never stop believin', change will come
There's a city of hope beyond our fears
Where miracles happen, where truth can be heard
Don't you wanna go to the city of hope
Founded on faith, connecting us all
A network of love to answer the call
Yeah, that's where I am from
The city of hope

I hear them whisper, "send in a prayer,"
A cry to the spirit where they no longer wonder

Never stop believin', change will come
There's a city of hope beyond our fears
Where miracles happen, where truth can be heard
Don't you wanna go to the city of hope

Yeah that's where I am from
The city of hope
