about

A bit of an experiment this one! I wrote a song earlier this year to cheer myself up with all that was/is going on…then over the last week or so I asked various musicians around the world to contribute parts and this is what happened after I sent all the individual tracks to Steve in Nashville…

lyrics

WHERE THERE’S LIFE THERE’S HOPE (Jones)

Even when the odds are stacked against us
Even when the final chips are down
Even when our worst fears turn to face us
Something helps us go another round

Even when the vultures start to circle
Even when the wolves are at the door
Even when the lies become more hurtful
Something keeps us coming back for more

Something gives us strength
Something helps us cope
I think it must be life itself
For where there’s life there’s hope

Even in the midst of confrontation
Even in the centre of a storm
Even at the risk of denigration
Something urges us to stay in form

Even as the darkest clouds all gather
Even with the roughest road ahead
Even when it feels like nothing matters
Something pushes us forward instead

Something gives us strength
Something helps us cope
I think it must be life itself
For where there’s life there’s hope

So seek a little comfort
Seek a little calm
Seek a little something with a soothing balm
Seek a little respite
Seek a little peace
Seek a little something ‘til the worries cease

Something gives us strength
Something helps us cope
I think it must be life itself
For where there’s life there’s hope

Who said it first
I don’t know
Stephen Hawking…in the Bible or Cicero
But giving in
Is a slippery slope
We can turn things round
For where there’s life there’s hope

Something gives us strength
Something helps us cope
I think it must be life itself
For where there’s life there’s hope

Yes I think it must be life itself
For where there’s life there’s hope
