D          Em
Let it rain
                            D
As I walk these streets unknown
    C
To no one named
    G/B
Not even myself
G D/F#   Em
When I’m low

Chorus:
Em
Give me hope
      D
That help is coming
  G    D/F#     Em
When I need it most
Em
Give me hope
      D
That help is coming
  G    D/F#     Em
When I need it most

Let it go
No mother no father no home
Forget as all others
Have forgotten
When I’m alone

Chorus:
But give me hope
That help is coming
When I need it most
Give me hope
That help is coming
When I need it most

Let it come
Love that lifts me up
Pain that brings me down
Everything I’d ever want and don’t
When I’m not strong

Chorus:
But give me hope
That help is coming
When I need it most
Give me hope
That help is coming
When I need it most

Let it rain
Let it flood these streets and wash me away
To where it makes no difference who I am
Or what the future holds
When I don’t know

Chorus:
But give me hope
That help is coming
When I need it most
Give me hope
That help is coming
When I need it most
