Lyrics Billy Ray Cyrus - Hope Is Just Ahead

"Hope Is Just Ahead"

I wondered why I had the blues,
so I turned on the evening news
children running from their school
because some damn fool,
had no morals he must prove

Another kid laid in the blood
another town drowned in the flood
just a tragic trail of tears
lessons not learned through the years
Heaven save us from our fears.

Hope is just ahead
sorrow is just behind us
from what the Good Book says
the truth will never find us
who's to say what we shall find,
I guess the proof was sure in time,
to them let's keep the dreamers big,
for sure hope is just ahead.

Oh you gotta believe
you gotta keep your faith,
get down on your knees
oh you gotta believe.

People fighting in the streets
millions with no food to eat
how much longer can we last
if we learn nothing from our past
these are the questions in our heads.

Hope is just ahead
sorrow is just behind us
from what the Good Book says
the truth will never find us
who's to say what we shall find,
I guess the proof was sure in time,
to them let's keep the dreamers big,
for sure hope is just ahead.

Oh you gotta believe
keep your faith
get down on your knees
oh, you gotta believe
ohh, you gotta believe.
gotta keep your faith
or get down on your knees,
oh you gotta believe.
