Hope Lyrics - Tim Minchin

There will be mornings 

You'll be utterly defeated by your laces 

... 

Days when every look looks condescending 

Empty smiles in empty faces 

The same old places this stunning stasis 

Just let your spirit slip away 

Let all your troubles crumble and decay 

There's more than one way out 

If at the end of the day 

You're at the end of your rope 

Never give up hope 

Never let yourself be defeated 

If you tried it once you can try again 

Don't give it to sorrow there's always tomorrow 

Never listen to the unbelievers 

You will take your falls you will hit your walls 

Don't give it to sorrow (there's always tomorrow) 

An everlasting farcical disaster 

You play your part you march the march 

You don't complain 

You find a way another day 

Surrounded by a cast of half-wit actors 

Grinning masks amidst the grey 

Yet you stay sane 

And through the pain the frozen pain of glass 

You strain to cast 

You gaze upon the path you have to tread 

And in your head that Lenin dread 

You know the roads have all been trod 

And there's no way and there's no god 

And god oh god this goddamn weather 

Will last forever 

But you must never, never, never 

Never give up hope 

Never let the odds overwhelm you 

You know the game gets hard 

Don't throw in your cards 

Don't give it to sorrow (there's always tomorrow) 

I've done everything I can 

I've done my best and I 

I've tried so hard to find my way out of this mess but I 

But I'm so tired 

I swear to you I've tried 

And sometimes I just wanna give up 

Just give up and stay here and live 

But I know there's no point in denying 

That I will keep trying 

I'm a lot of things but I'm not a quitter 

I'll never give up 

Never give up never give up... 

Never give up hove 

(Let yourself be yourself) 

Let yourself be yourself 

You tried it once you try it again 

There's always tomorrow 

(If it isn't today have a little faith) 

There's always tomorrow 

Hold on to your faith 

You'll find another way 

After acid and gas and guns 

And razors and rope 

You may wanna live 

But baby don't give up... hope!
