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 its gettin hard to play the part,
buts it's all that i know
and its getting so complicated (so complicated)

i guess what im 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 dont need it
(you dont even need it)
its clear to see, you gotta give a man hope,
you know, you know, you know,
you gotta give a man hope

know where to stay, no place called home
what happened here, when you step into the unknown,
outside my comfort zone
oh yeah
im not the man you used to know
im in control, guna kick back, relax
not my low

coz its gettin so complicated (so complicated)
i guess what im 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 dont 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 im 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 dont 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 dont need it
(you dont even need it)
its clear to see
you know you know you know,
youve gotta give a man hope
