Letra All you can do Willy Mason

All you can do

Hopelessness in the alley
Alone, draggin' his feet.
He wasn't born that way
But life has just taught him defeat.
So he waits to teach you distrust
From his cold home in the streets.
And hope is all that you can do.

Hopelessness is on the TV
Infecting sea to shining sea.
In the worried eyes of our parents
Try as we might not to believe.
And we tried pill and prescriptions
but drugs won't cure this disease.
Hope is all that you can do.

This is the new year
Nobody knows
Where we are going
What's down the road.
The city is humming.
The country is cold.
But you give me something
Something like hope.

Grew up without parents
To teach us wrong from right.
So we turned towards many heroes
But still we couldn't sleep at night.
So we searched and read and listened
So the songs old prophets sang.
Let's all get together friends
And dance away the rain.
It's time to get together friends
And dance away the rain.
This is the new year
Nobody knows
Where we are going
What's down the road.
The city is humming.
The country is cold.
But you give me something
Something like hope
