Tell that lonely teacher,
Don't give up the fight,
Tell that lonely preacher,
Everyone unite,
Tell that lonely teacher, he’s a friend of mine,
From the darkness into the shining light.

Been on this road so long, were gonna find a way,
Oh forgotten all my songs, we'll help you sing all day,
Been on this lonely road, don't you let me down,
Shine a light in the place that is my home.

We're gonna ride, ride, ride, until the sun goes down,
And you can hide, hide, hide, until they call you home,
Or you can shine, shine, shine, until the sun goes down,
Till the Lord or the Devil calls you home.

If you call on me,
I ain't gonna let you down,
If you call on me, you know you're not alone,
But tell that two-timin’ loser, he ain't no friend of mine,
I ain't blind to the truth from now on.

Well I look up,
I look up and I look down, I look down,
And everywhere, everywhere there’s greed around, greed around,
you're making it up, make it upit’s dragging me down, drag me down,
Do you want lies or the truth from now on?

We're gonna ride, ride, ride, until the sun goes down,
And you can hide, hide, hide, until they call you home,
Or you can shine, shine, shine, until the sun goes down,
Till the Lord or the Devil calls you home.

I'll keep on playing, playing, playing, playing, playing till the sun goes down,
I'll keep on playing, playing, playing, playing, playing till they call me home,
I'll keep on playing, playing, playing, playing, playing till the sun goes down,
Till the lord or the devil takes me home,
I try to find a way till the lord or the devil takes me home,
Oh till the lord or the devil takes me home.

Hope, hope, hope, hope, hope,
I see you baby, life is tearing you down oh yeah,
I know at times it can be hard, don't have to wear a frown,
You gotta have hope,
Hope, hope, hope, hope, hope.

I know it's getting you down, no time for negative thinking,
I say you gotta have hope, don't feel like you're just existing,
You've done the best you can, that's all you can ever do,
There is something greater out there and it's waiting just for you,
You gotta have hope,
Hope, hope, hope, hope, hope.

Keep your head high and reach for the stars,
If you think about the past you gotta walk with the last,
To clear my head I gotta walk through the park,
If you really want a blast you have to live through the heart,
Don't stress, run away from the dark, think twice before you think too fast,
In life all we get is one chance,
Stay true to your soul, you don't need to wear a mask,
Now I pray yeah I hope to be the best,
Gotta stay strong yeah I'm better than the rest,
It's all love you gotta pay your respect,
Last but not least man how could I forget,
You gotta, you gotta.

Hope, hope, hope, hope, hope.

Sometimes if it ain't goin your way, and hope seems like wishful thinking,
You're not on solid ground and it feels like you are sinking,
You gotta have hope,
Hope, hope, hope, hope, hope,
You gotta have hope.
