I was damned from the day I was born
No wake up call, I was locked into falling apart
And set 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
Without any good intentions
Something has to change
So complicated
So point me in the right direction
I guess what am trying to say is…

If you give a man hope
You know something to believe in
You get more if you give a little sometime
You get more if you give a little sometime
Forget about gold, oh no
You know you don't need it, you don't even need it
Its clear to see you've gotta give a man hope

You know, you know,
You've 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 ah yeah am not the man you use to know
Am in control gonna kick back relax

And it's getting so complicated
Without any good intentions
Something has to change
So complicated
So point me in the right direction
I guess what am trying to say is…

If you give a man hope
You know something to believe in
You get more if you give a little sometime
You get more if you give a little sometime
Forget about gold, oh no
You know you don't need it, you don't even need it
It's 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 you the light comes through

Guess all am trying to say is

If you give a man hope
You know something to believe in
You get more if you give a little sometime
You get more if you give a little sometime
Forget about gold, oh no
You know you don't need it, you don't even need it
It's clear to see

If you give a man hope
You know something to believe in
You get more if you give a little sometime
You get more if you give a little sometime
Forget about gold, oh no
You know you don't need it, you don't even need it
Its clear to see you gotta give a man hope

You know, you know you gotta give a man hope
