Hoping
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's got to be a God
I mean, I hope so
But if there is a God
I really don't know
But I'm hoping
Yes, I'm hoping
I'm hoping there is a God
All around the world
It looks awful bad
All around the world
It seems pretty sad
But I'm hoping
Yes, I'm hoping
I'm hoping there is a God
Take my hand now
Girl, don't you know?
I love you so
I love you so
And I'm hoping
Yes, I'm hoping
I'm hoping there is a God
