There's Hope Lyrics

2,1,2,1,2..(there`s hope)
(the india arie)

[1st verse]
back when I had a little
I thought that 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 the lesson
that it`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
[2x]

[2nd verse]
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 was extremely poor
on top of all of that he had no eye-sight
but that didn`t keep him from seeing the light
he said "what`s it like in the U.S.A.?"
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`s hope
[2x]

[Bridge 1]
everytime 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)
gass prices they just keep on rising (there`s hope)
the government they keep on lying
we gotta keep on surviving
keep livin` our truth and do the best we can do
`cause there`s hope

[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
[2x]

Bridge 2
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)
[2x]

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
[2x]

2,1,2,1,2... (fade)
