In the world today
everybody’s living with emotion
Seeking high and low,
looking for some harmony
When the troubled heart is aching
for the rest and some healing
When joy is gone and
everyone has left you behind

You gotta have hope
for the good times
You gotta have dreams
you can hold onto
You gotta have peace in searching
You gotta have love to sustain you
You gotta get down
in the trenches
You gotta let God be
there to walk you through
You gotta hold tight to conviction
And let fear pass by

Reach inside, find out where
the miracles are hiding
Lay the sorrows down,
the miseries will disappear
You gotta trust your heart
and lean not unto your understanding
Wipe away the tears and
find out where the soul resides

You gotta have hope
for the good times
You gotta have dreams
you can hold onto
You gotta have peace in searching
You gotta have love to sustain you
You gotta get down in the trenches
You gotta let God be
there to walk you through
You gotta hold tight to conviction
And let fear pass by

You gotta have hope
for the good times
You gotta have dreams
you can hold onto
You gotta have peace in searching
You gotta have love to sustain you
You gotta get down in the trenches
You gotta let God be there
to walk you through
You gotta hold tight to conviction
And let fear pass by
