When you're facing up to trouble
And your mind has drawn a blank
You've no money in your pocket
Even less stashed in the bank
When your friends seem to desert you
And your family's offside
Want to leave this mess behind you
Want to run away and hide

Then I want it
Got to have it
Hope is all I need

If you feel you're left in darkness
If you feel you're on your own
And the smallest of you problems
Seems to turn up fully grown
Don't give up on your tomorrow
Cos you know you'll reach the dawn
Just spit in the eye of trouble
'Til your suffering has gone

Then I want it
Got to have it
Hope is all I need

Then I want it
Got to have it
Hope is all I need
