Song of the Day...There's Hope

Even living in the world today that is full of crime, politicians making promises that they know they won't keep, since they know that tomorrow isn't even promised to them. But even today there are people shining like a bright light carrying a message that there is hope for the future. I would like to introduce to you the song of today: Indie Arie, "There's Hope.

back when I had a little
I thought I needed a lot
a little was overrated
but a lot was a little too complicated
see, zero didn't satisfy me
a million didn't make me happy
that's when I learned
that's all about your perception
hey, are you a copper or a superstar
so you act, so you feel, so you are
it ain't about the size of your car
it's about the size of the faith in your heart

(chorus)
there's hope
it doesn't cost a thing to smile
you don't have to pay to laugh
you better thank God for that....there's hope

from the back country of Brazil
I met a young brother that made me feel
that I could accomplish anything
you see just like me he wanted to sing
he had no windows and no doors
he lived a simple life and extremely poor
on top of all that he had no eye sight
but that didn't keep him from seeing the light
he said, "What's it like in the USA?"
and all I did was complain
he said, "living here is paradise" he taught me
paradise is in your mind you know that

(chorus)
there's hope
it doesn't cost a thing to smile
you don't have to pay to laugh
you better thank God for that.....there' hope

Every time I turn on the TV (there's hope)
somebody is acting crazy (there's hope)
you bet that it'll drive you crazy (there's hope)
but I'm taking back my power today (there's hope)
gas prices they just keep on rising (there's hope)
the government they keep on lying
we gotta keep on surviving
keep living our truth and do the best we can do
cause there's hope

there's hope
it doesn't cost a thing to smile
you don't have to pay to laugh
you better thank God for that...there's hope

stand up for your right (stand up for your right)
keep shining your light (keep shining your light)
and show the world your smile (show the world your smile)

there's hope
it doesn't cost a thing to smile
you don't have to pay to laugh
you better thank God for that.
