The Kinks - Hope

Sitting here, wondering what it's all about
Thoughts moving on, gonna give it a shout
Oh, people are so strange, and I don't know why
There must be a way
But it brings a tear
But a fine group of teachers we've got gathered here
We're lost in a world in this, the mechanized age
We must turn it around

Hope, life is nothing without
Dream, means nothing without a plan
Hope, means nothing without a chance
Hope, it means nothing without love
Hope, means nothing without a dream
Dream, it means nothing without a chance
Hope, means nothing without love

Comic strip characters fill my eyes
From the tramp in the gutter to the politician's smile
There's war in the east, confusion in the west
There must, must be a way
The message is clear, that everybody's right and nobody's wrong
We all live together in a very small boat
We all have got to change

We need hope, life is nothing with out a dream
Dream, means nothing without a plan
Hope, it means nothing without a chance
Hope, oohh
Life, it means nothing without hope
Hope, means nothing without a chance
Chance, means nothing without love
Hope, means nothing without life
Oooh

Means nothing, nothing without life
Oooh
Hope, means nothing, nothing without life
Life, means nothing, nothing
