We've Got Hope

We've got hope, we've got hope, we've got hope

On a brighter future we're bankin'
You can call us sanguine
We can't be sure 'cause we're not clairvoyant
But about the future we're buoyant

We've got hope, we've got hope, we've got hope

Do you think we're going bananas?
Then call us Pollyannas
Do we lack the proper caution?
You can call us all Panglossian
But we don't think our hope is excessive
Because the future looks so impressive

We've got hope, we've got hope, we've got hope
We've got hope, we've got hope, we've got hope

Bible Words

Well, the Bible is a great book but it uses some words
That in normal conversation aren't very often heard
Like cubit, rend, and harlot
Beget, beseech and smite
If you don't know what these words mean
Let me set you right

A cubit is the distance from your elbow to your fingertip
When you rend your clothing, you just grab it and rip

A harlot is a women who's romantically wild
Beget is just a fancy way to say "to have a child"

To beseech means to plead with somebody to do what is right
To smite means to hit somebody with all of your might

The Bible is a great book but it uses some words
That in normal conversation aren't very often heard
That's why we call them Bible words
