I grew up in the country
Beside a chicken shack
So I left for the city
And I didn't look back
Now, I'm livin' in hope (livin' in hope)
Livin' in hope (livin' in hope)
Yes, I'm livin' in hope (livin' in hope)
Livin' in hope
Walkin' round the city
Feelin' all alone
Nobody told me
The streets are paved with stone
But, I'm livin' in hope (livin' in hope)
Yes, I‘m livin' in hope (livin' in hope)
I'm livin' in hope (livin' in hope)
I'm livin' in hope
Can't find my feet, or a friendly face
In this God-forsaken town
Nobody stops to lend a hand
Unless they wanna put you down
No
But, I'm livin' in hope (livin' in hope)
Livin' in hope (livin' in hope)
Yes, I'm livin' in hope (livin' in hope)
I'm livin' in hope
Nothin' in my pocket
Nowhere to go
Lookin' for a handout
But no one wants to know
Well, I'm livin' in hope (livin' in hope)
Livin' in hope (livin' in hope)
Yes, I'm livin' in hope (livin' in hope)
Livin' in hope
I'm livin' in hope (livin' in hope)
Livin' in hope (livin' in hope)
Yes, I'm livin' in hope (livin' in hope)
Livin' in hope
