Here's Hope
Jay Sean Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Verses]

Everywhere everybody
Needs a neighbour
Showin up when times get hard
But there's friends of sons
And daughters
Saying grace without supper
In your backyard
Who doesn't wanna be a hero
Or atleast little bit of
Helping out
There's something you're
Never gonna help or change
But hunger's
Somthing we can turn
Around.

[Chorus:]

Heres hope heres hope
Showing up at your front door
Heres hope heres hope
You have what everybody's looking for
It's your one chance to make a difference
And your one choice to give a helping hand
There's room at the table for more

So heres hope
Oh ooo oh oo
Heres hope
Oh ooo oh oo

Oh

[Verses]

Well, there's a small town
Girl in thirdgrade
Making sure sisters get enough
She sees her mama working two jobs
Worrying and crying, doing
Everything but giving up
If a miracle's a gift when
You need it
Then it's time for stepping in
Here's to families and kids
Where ever you live
Never ever wondering again

[Chorus:]

Heres hope heres hope
Showing up at your front door
Heres hope heres hope
For what everybody's looking for
It's your one chance to make a difference
And your one choice to give a helping hand
There's room at the table for more

Well heres hope
Oh ooo oh oo
And heres hope
Oh ooo oh oo

Ohhh

[Verses]

Here's going to bed not hungry
Here's to changing the story
Here's to bigger hearts and
Brighter days
Let me hear you sing it for me
For me

[Chorus:]

Heres hope heres hope
Showing up at your front door
Heres hope heres hope
For what everybody's looking for
It's your one chance to make a difference
And your one choice to give a helping hand
There's room at the table for more

Oh ooo oh oo
Ohhh heres hope
Oh ooo oh oo
Ho
Hope





Sorry for the mistakes.

Funny how something as simple as the voice can change the view of the song completely. I just heard this version now and I think both Adam's and Jay's are great.

Lol Owl City/Adam Young is my favorite artist EVER but I love every type of music (just about) but when it comes to this song and which version is better... it depends on my mood. xD
