Most people got soul if they wanna try Let love be your goal and let it fly Cause it's easy to hate and to draw a line But error is human forgiveness is divine
I know a lot of people who think like me That this world can be a place that's filled with harmony First there's a lot of things we've got to rearrange Put an end to hate and lies So peace can come and truth shall reign As long as there is a ray of hope
Lord, I don't mind going out and doin' my work Light up the way to brotherhood Help us to make His dream understood
Sometimes the road gets a little bit rough Your strength is all gone, you had enough But there's people who win without making fists Our world won't survive lest we think like this
I can't imagine any greater need To treat each other as we'd like to be It's a gas just knowing what is yet to come Not unless we get together Got to get together one by one
As long as there is a ray of hope Lord, I don't mind goin out and doin my work Light up the way to brotherhood I got to keep on searchin, keep on searchin Till I find out Keep on searchin, keep on searchin Till I find out Keep on searchin, keep on searchin Till I find out
Gonna take a little look way down inside Gotta find out Lord, why I'm alive We'll pray for a day when all men are free And people can live like they're meant to be Meanwhile it's all up to you and me Start working together towards this dream
As long as there is a ray of hope Lord, I don't mind goin out and doin my work Light up the way to brotherhood Help us to make His dream understood As long as there is a ray of hope I got to wait my turn till I can vote As long as there is a ray of hope
