HOPE (Stripped Down) Lyrics

I hope you get what this life has to offer you

I hope you see all the blessings like rain

I hope that your struggles don't last too long

I hope you still can smile after pain

I hope you don't ever lose nobody

But hope that when you do you still pray

I hope to God that you never lose hope

But if you do know its gon' be okay

Cuz at the spot where Heaven and Hell meets

A boy 10 pounds was born

A heavy big headed seed

Where headed he never knew

But settled spirit at feet

Of Holy one, the chosen one

He only needed belief

Cirque du Soleil the way

That he walked the streets like a tightrope

Never look down on his folk

But saw that his life was a minstrel

A puppet show for the masses

He got his tassels for momma

His father gave him the lashes

To keep him far from the drama

But never could of imagined

The boy that grew like a weed

Dandelion in fashion

Every toxic environment

Adapting his petals passion

He took the life that was lacking

Lights, camera action

And made it happen

Despite the no reactions

Despite how food was rationed

Despite the many nights by himself

Where he lost compassion

And hope was his only friend

In the middle of cause and effect

Before he paid consequence

How tragic it would've been

To miss all this opulence

There's so much more

There's so much more

I hope you get what this life has to offer you

I hope you see all the blessings like rain

I hope that your struggles don't last too long

I hope you still can smile after pain

I hope you don't ever lose nobody

But hope that when you do you still pray

I hope to God that you never lose hope

But if you do know its gon' be okay

I hope you get what this life has to offer you

I hope you see all the blessings like rain

I hope that your struggles don't last too long

I hope you still can smile after pain

I hope you don't ever lose nobody

But hope that when you do you still pray

I hope to God that you never lose hope

But if you do know we all feel the same

There's so much more

To this life

To this life
