[Verse]
D              Gm          Am       Bb
Hope is like a lighthouse keeper's beam
C                F      F/G     F/A
Hope the master cobbler of our dreams
     Bb  Bdim              F       D
For Hope      believes in desert streams
     Gm           C
The mightiest of stars
     Am       D
The microcosm in a jar
Gm                 C              Bb   F/A
Vast or small they all revolve on Hope

D                 Gm    Am     Bb
Hope the guardian angel of the dove
C                F    F/G     F/A
Hope a gift of guidance from above
     Bb    Bdim              F       D
For Hope is    the heart in mother's love
Gm                 C
No plans could be conceived
Am                      D
No ships could fare the seas
                Bbm           C                F
For there would be no courage were it not for Hope

[Interlude]
( Bb  Eb )


[Verse]
        Ab              Eb   Db             Dbm
Now the path before us lies before our very eyes
          Ab  Eb  Db
Don't you see
       Eb               Ab
And it leads up to the gateway
        Eb     Bbm
Lead me through
C              F  Dm7
Don't you see

              Bb
Then come and take my hand
Bb
Raise up your head
Db
And dry your eyes
    Eb         F
For up ahead I see
            Dm
Woh woh yeah
          Bb
A ray of peace
                Db  Eb  F
A shining on me

D
So let us feel Hope
              Gm     Am      Bb
And feel the sunrise in our minds
    C               F        F/G    F/A
To give Hope is to enlighten all mankind
        Bb       Bdim                F        D
Ah but lose Hope     and life seems black as blind
      Gm                 C
When faith gives way to fear
      Am        D
When motivation disappears
Bb             C             Am  D
All is lost if one abandons Hope
Bbm
All is lost
   C            F    Db  Eb  F
If one abandons Hope
