A Ray of Hope Songtext

von Desmond Child

Blessed are the mercyful 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

[Chorus]
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
