Willy Mason - All You Can Do lyrics

Hopelessness in the alley Alone, draggin' his feet. He wasn't born that way But life has just taught him defeat. So he waits to teach you distrust From his cold home in the streets. And hope is all that you can do. Hopelessness is on the TV Infecting sea to shining sea. In the worried eyes of our parents Try as we might not to believe. And we tried pill and prescriptions But d** won't cure this disease. Hope is all that you can do. This is the new year Nobody knows Where we are going What's down the road. The city is humming. The country is cold. But you give me something Something like hope. Grew up without parents To teach us wrong from right. So we turned towards many heroes But still we couldn't sleep at night. So we searched and read and listened So the songs old prophets sang. Let's all get together friends And dance away the rain. It's time to get together friends And dance away the rain. This is the new year Nobody knows Where we are going What's down the road. The city is humming. The country is cold. But you give me something Something like hope
