Ian Hunter, Lucinda Williams, Taylor Hawkins and Billy Bob Thornton - Hope

Trouble comes to everyone
You gotta hold your head up high
This old heart, to fight it out
No matter how you try
Life is a question of alternatives
Which way you wanna go?

I'm well aware that life ain't fair
You see it all the time
I've seen smiles in poverty
And tears in the finest wines
When every day's an identical day
And every night goes slow

You gotta have hope
You gotta have hope
You gotta have hope
You gotta have hope

And some will kneel on velvet pads
And some will look up to the sky
'Cause hope is the only hope they ever had
Their hope can never die

Some folks cling to memories
And some are drawn to desire
Some folks deal with tragedy
And some folks play with fire
The sun will rise, the sun will die
But rise again tomorrow

You gotta have hope
You gotta have hope
Hope is all you need to get you through
You gotta have hope
You gotta have hope
Yeah, you gotta have hope
Hope is all you need to get you through
You gotta have hope
You gotta have hope
You gotta have hope
You gotta have hope
You gotta have hope
You need a little hope
