lyrics

The Hope Of A Brighter Day © Hal Brolund (SOCAN) 2015

You can be born with money, you can be born with a place to live
You can start out in the streets, you can start with nothing to give
Whether your feet are cold or you've got good shoes
You got a song in your heart or you got the blues
We all start out with the hope of a brighter day

(chorus)
We start out perfect that's what they say
And we'll all go to heaven one fine day
We'll end up wrapped in the arms of the ones we love
I hope you're happy, I hope you're strong
I pray that no ever treats you wrong
I hope you learn to see with the love that's in your heart

You could be born black, or born white,
born in the day or the middle of the night
You could be born here or to a family far away
No matter your colour, no matter your name
There are some things that are always the same
We all start out with the hope of a brighter day

(chorus)

(bridge)
In your heart, in your heart
In your heart, in your heart

Now you treat each other with the respect we all deserve
Remember that we all are family on this great earth (yes we are)
We might be right, we might be wrong
We might not even sing the same song
But we all start out with the hope of a brighter day

(chorus)

(bridge)
In your heart, in your heart
In your heart, in your heart
In your heart, in your heart
In your heart, in your heart
