Harry Connick, Jr.

Song for the Hopeful

People with hope

Have a special prayer,

A louder drum,

A brighter flare.

This is a song for the hopeful.

May God hear it sung.

People with faith

Are the lucky kind.

They'll be the ones

With peace of mind.

This is a song for the faithful.

May God hear it sung.

There's a song for the doubtful.

There's a song for the lost.

There's a song for the desert

Barren, but crossed.

But for those who are strong of spirit,

Maybe they don't need to hear it.

But still, a song for them.

A simple song for them.

Nothing can shade

A seasoned soul.

It's all the loss

That makes it whole.

This is a song for the hopeful.

This is a song for the faithful.

This is a song for the hopeful.

May God hear it sung.

May God hear it sung.

May God hear it sung.
