Desmond Child - A Ray of Hope lyrics

Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy And blessed are the meek for they shall possess the earth I am a man or sometimes I'm a child I'm caught up struggle it has me running wild The angel on my shoulder and devil at my sleeve And the apple of temptation held it from of me And I will try everyday to be a better man And send a wave of love to everyone I can And I believe that there's a ray of hope A light that's shining down from heaven Say a prayer for the unfortunate man Who knows of no salvation and greed is this religion Say a prayer for the man Who do not practice what they preach The children and the innocent Mislead by what they teach As I walk down these city street I See a side of life and greed is his religion But I know that we've all part of the plan Saints and sinners all of us Walking hand in hand So we must try everyday to be a better men And send a wave of love to everyone we can 'Cause I believe that there's a ray of hope A light that's shining down from heaven
