I was damned from the day i was born   no wake up call   i was locked into falling apart   and said to waste it all   i was out of control, cold   and i think it showed   and it's getting hard to play the part, but it's all that i know   and it's getting so complicated (so complicated)      i guess what i'm trying to say is   if you give a man hope, you know, something to believe in   you get more if you give a little sometimes   you get more if you give a little sometimes   forget about gold, oh no   you know you don't need it (you don't even need it)   it's clear to see, you gotta give a man hope,   you know, you know, you know, you gotta give a man hope      nowhere to stay, no place called home   what happened here, when you step into the unknown,   outside my comfort zone   oh yeah   i'm not the man you used to know   i'm in control, gonna kick back, relax   not my low       coz its gettin so complicated (so complicated)   i guess what i'm tryin to say is   if you give a man hope, you know, something to believe in   you get more if you give a little sometimes   you get more if you give a little sometimes   forget about gold, oh no   you know you dont need it (you don't even need it)   its clear to see,      things will never be the same again   give a man a little trust and faith   a ray of light, i can see day break ahead   a little confidence is all it takes   and whatever happens from today,   they see the good in me, the light comes shinning through      i guess all i'm tryin to say is   if you give a man hope, you know, something to beleive in   you get more if you give a little sometimes   you get more if you give a little sometimes   forget about gold, oh no   you know you don't need it (you don't even need it)      if you give a man hope, you know, something to believe in   you get more if you give a little sometimes   you get more if you give a little sometimes   forget about gold, oh no   you know you don't need it (you don't even need it)   it's clear to see   you know you know you know, you've gotta give a man hope
