Widespread Panic - Hope In A Hopeless World [Bombs & Butterflies - 08 Album Cut]
Lyrics
Baby born in New York City
Wrapped in a blanket all tattered and worn
Mama's doin' the best she can
It takes hope in a hopeless world
Her eldest son, he stayed in school
Listened to his mother, he never drank or used
But every job he wants he gets refused
It takes hope in a hopeless world
Looking for hope in a hopeless world
Trying to find love in these hateful times
Try to stay strong but my mind is weak
Looking for hope in a hopeless world
Churches are full, but the prayers are not heard
Saturday's child don't wanna to go to Sunday school
Whatever happened to the golden rule
It takes hope in a hopeless world
D'you got a quarter for the homeless man
Spare some change for the soldiers who fought the war
Put a little money in those hats and those tins
Give them hope in a hopeless world
Looking for hope in a hopeless world
Searchin' for love in these hateful times
Try to stay strong but my mind is weak
Ease my mind, ease my mind
And on the corner there stands a young girl
The home she left was in the better part of town
Daddy did things she never talked about
It takes hope in a hopeless world
Somebody out there gotta listen
Somebody out there got to know what Pops been talkin' about
Raise your hand, raise your hands if you're with me
Give us hope in a hopeless world
You've got to listen to the voice inside
Peace and love don't compromise - realize
Time is passing by
Can't be standing still!

Comparing republicans to KKK is a little much, but point taken. Bottom line, this is a great song that reminds us to take care of one another as well as take care of ourselves.

This is a great "Message" song. But those "REPUBLI(KKK)ANS" who are screwing over America now just "don't get it"...

This song is really great and it reminds me of one of the psalms in Revelations of 2012 by The Prophet of Life called One Small Candle.

I love the original version from Pops Staples, but am even happier that Pops' work carries on to a new generation!
