Songs with the word lift or about hope

"(There'll Be) Peace in the Valley (for Me)," Elvis Presley

"Hope of Deliverance," Paul McCartney
We live in hope of deliverance
From the darkness that surrounds us
Hope of deliverance
Hope of deliverance
Hope of deliverance
From the darkness that surrounds us...

"Show the Way," David Wilcox
You say you see no hope
You say you see no reason we should dream
That the world would ever change
You say the love is foolish to believe
'Cause they'll always be some crazy
With an army or a knife
To wake you from your daydream
Put the fear back in your life
...
For it's love who mixed the mortar
And it's love who stacked these stones
And it's love who made the stage here
Though it looks like we're alone
In this scene, set in shadows,
Like the night is here to stay
There is evil cast around us
But it's love that wrote the play
For in this darkness love will show the way.

"Climb Every Mountain," Audra McDonald

"Someone's Waiting for You" from The Rescuers
Always keep a little prayer in your pocket
and you're sure to see the light.
Soon there'll be joy and happiness
and your little world will be bright...

"Take My Hand, Precious Lord," Mahalia Jackson
Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, let me sta-and
I am tired, I'm weak, I am worn
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the li-ight
Take my ha-and, precious Lor-ord
Lead me home...

"In Whatever Time We Have," Tami Tappan Damiano
There are times I've been afraid
In a world that's so uncertain
Then I feel your hand in mine
And there's courage in my heart...

 

[theluckyrabbit]

"Who Am I?" from Les Misérables
My soul belongs to God, I know
I made that bargain long ago
He gave me hope when hope was gone
He gave me strength to journey on...

"Coming Out of the Dark," Gloria Estefan

"Peace Train," Cat Stevens
Now I've been crying lately,
Thinkin' about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating,
Why can't we live in bliss
'Cause out on the edge of darkness,
There rides a Peace Train
Oh Peace Train take this country,
Come take me home again...

"A Hundred Million Miracles" from Flower Drum Song
A hundred million miracles,
A hundred million miracles are happ'ning ev'ry day,
And those who say they don't agree
Are those who do not hear or see.
A hundred million miracles,
A hundred million miracles are happ'ning ev'ry day,..

Before watching this thread I have never thought that there are a lot of songs about hope. For me it is a "Let it go" - after signing this I feel that everything is going to be better. Guys thank you for posting songs here, need to listen all of them!

"No One Is Alone" from Into the Woods
Hard to see the light now
Just don't let it go
Things will come out right now
We can make it so
Someone is on your side
No one is alone

"Let It Be," The Beatles
And when the night is cloudy
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine on 'til tomorrow
Let it be...
