when times are tough
and you are wondering what to do
you hold forth an empty beggars cup
and ask the lord to see you through
when the head is bowed and times are bleak
and you need a little strength to survive
to get past the hard times
and find the higher state of mind
Look up to the heavens
and raise your arms up high
find the Rays of light to shine
and bring you peace of mind
let the pearl of hope be found
deep within your soul
let that gem be polished
let the truth be known
we all need a little hope
at times we need a helping hand
to make it past the discouragement
when we see the state of mankind
gather up the light
breathe in deep and find
the cup you hold is waiting
to be filled with love divine
even if you see it not
and can't seem to find the way
there is a light on the horizon
look to a new day
believe in your heart of hearts
and find the time to pray
to be guided our of darkness
to find a ray of hope today
