A Street Called Hope  

Intro:         

                       
I took a room in a house of gloom
                         
Somewhere I could hide my soul
                                    
There I hoped to find a way to ease my mind
                        
Couldn't face the gloom tomorrow

                              
I sat until the hours of three or four
                            
Thinking doesn't help but seems
                                          
I crept to bed and cried myself to sleep once more
                     
Then I had the wildest dream

Chorus:
                                 
(Street called Hope) in a town named Freedom
                                        
Where each clock is pointed to the hour of love
                                      
Upon a street called Hope at the house of Welcome
                              
That's where she opened the door of love

When I awoke the following day
Every doubt had left my mind
My dream it taught me what the prophets say
Those who seek will always find

I ran down the stair and out in to the street
Looking for the nearest phone
We both said sorry and decided to meet
To find ourselves a happy home

Chorus (repeat and fade)
