They Give Me Hope
Lyrics
Walking down Seventh Avenue
Walking to work and I'm singing the blues
There's a bus parked near the curb
He's been there for weeks
There's a guy who sleeps inside
Who kind of gives me the creeps
One time I walked by, I stopped to look inside
I'm truly amazed how that man in there survives
But He Gives Me Hope
He Gives Me Hope
He Gives Me Hope if he can do it maybe so can I
I arrive at work sometimes a little late
There's only two people there that I hate
The lady who sits behind me smokes three packs a day
The guy in front of me says Jesus is the way
Sometimes I must admit we don't all jive
But I'm truly amazed how those people survive and
They Give Me Hope
They Give Me Hope
They Give Me Hope if they can do it maybe so can I
I've been to Minnesota, Wisconsin down to Mexico too
I've got the Seattle, Vancouver, Oregon blues
Everywhere I go people ask me for change
"Can you spare a nickel or dime"
Reality is out of range
You know I'm truly amazed how this whole world survives but
It Gives Me Hope
It Gives Me Hope
It Gives Me Hope if it can do it maybe so can I
Walking down Seventh Avenue
I'm walking home but I'm still singing the blues
That factory is pumping that black old smoke
It makes me so sick I have to stop and choke
That smog's tearing up my baby blue eyes
I'm truly amazed how this whole town survives
But it Gives Me Hope
It Gives Me Hope
It Gives Me hope if it can do it maybe so can I
