(Harry Connick, Jr.) People with hope Have a special prayer A louder drum A brighter flare This is a song for the hopeful May God hear it sung People with faith Are the lucky kind They'll be the ones With peace of mind This is a song for the faithful May God hear it sung There's a song for the doubtful There's a song for the lost There's a song for the desert Barren, but crossed
But for those who are strong of spirit Maybe they don't need to hear it But still, a song for them A simple song for them Nothing can shade A seasoned soul It's all the loss That makes it whole This is a song for the hopeful This is a song for the faithful This is a song for the hopeful May God hear it sung May God hear it sung May God hear it sung
