lyrics

LIVING ON HOPE
i notice people come together in the strangest situations
takes a plane to hit a building
a flood to get them hugging
8 years for them to notice
that they are living in recession
now a brothers got to save them after years of oppression
and they uh
they get you living on hope
things aren't quite the same as they were when we were smaller
say the churches look little
man the liquor stores got taller and
god lost his tittle to the almighty dollar now
babies round this world are getting raised with out fathers
and they uh
they get you living on hope
trust me...i know
nothing like relying on
trust me...i know
trust me...i know
nothing like depending on
i know i know
i notice people come together in the time you least expect it
when a heart gets broken or somebody feels rejected
when reflections stop smiling
and ya don't quite feel connected
when the loneliness is calling
your sanity's infected that's when
you ....ah
