Hay una esperanza

When you hear on the news,
that another war has just broken out,
that millions are still dying of hunger,
that the ozone layer is disappearing,
that AIDS is killing many people,
that two men are getting married,
that they have found the missing link,
that another madman kills just to kill.

You need to understand that there is someone,
who doesn't want to see the world the same,
who doesn't want to see more bloodshed,
that racism can spill over.
You need to understand that there is someone,
who came to shed his life,
who doesn't want to see more children on the streets,
without a mom and dad.

There is hope for the world today,
There is hope for the world today,
it is a light that can shine today
in the midst of any darkness.
There is hope for the world today,
there is hope for the world today,
it is the only one who can give
hope for the world today.

He was born in a very small town,
his mother was a virgin,
he had to live in another land,
for his life was sought by a king.
His father was a carpenter,
he helped him until he was thirty years old,
he came to change the whole world,
he was a preacher for only three years.

He never wrote a book,
nor held a public office,
he was only thirty-three years old
when he died between two thieves,
all the men who once lived
and the armies that will come one day,
will never change this world
like this life changed humanity.

There is hope for the world today,
There is hope for the world today,
it is a light that can shine today
in the midst of any darkness.
There is hope for the world today,
there is hope for the world today,
it is the only one who can give
hope for the world today.
