Hoplessness is in the ally,
Alone dragging his feet
He wasn't born that way,
But life has just taught him defeat
So he waits to teach you distrust,
From his cold home in the streets
- And hope is all that you can do

Hopelessness is on the TV,
Infecting see, the shining sea
And in the worried eyes of our parents,
Try as we might not to believe
And we've tried pills and prescriptions,
But drugs won't cure this disease
- Hope is all that we can do

This is the New Year,
Nobody knows,
Where we are going,
What's down the road
The city is humming,
The country is cold
- But you give me something;
Something like hope

We grew up without parents,
To teach us wrong from right
So we turned towards many heroes,
But still we couldn't sleep at night
So we searched and read and listened,
To the songs old prophets sang
- Lets all get together friends,
And dance the rain away

It's time to get together friends,
And dance away the rain

This is the New Year,
Nobody knows,
Where we are going
What's down the road
The city is humming
The country is cold
- But you give me something;
Something like hope
