Harry Connick, Jr., Kim Burrell - Song for the Hopeful lyrics

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 shake a seasoned soul
It's all the loss that makes it whole
This is a song for the hopeful
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

Well nothing can shake 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

(M-m-m) May God hear it sung
(M-m-m) May God hear it sung
May God hear it sung
