Jade - Here's to Hope

Copied!

{Verse}
Little girl, six years old
All alone inside
Always hiding, always crying
Never feelin' liked
Always wishin' someone there hold her head up
But she has nobody, will she ever be enough?
All the kids, constantly
Making fun of her
There's nowhere safe that she can hide
So she has to hurt
Tired of all this pain, it'll never cease
Every day, all-day hurt left with no ease

{Chorus}
Here's to hopin' all this pain
Will wash up gone away
Here's to hopin' all is happy
Never feelin' down
Here's to hopin' friends are there
To help see the day
Here's to hopin' all those dreams
Finally, come out

{Verse}
Ten years later, sixteenth birthday
Smiles all around
All her friends from her new school
Came all the way from town
She's feelin' so much better knowing she won't have to hurt
And all those scars from her life made sure she learned

{Chorus}
Here's to hopin' all this pain
Will wash up gone away
Here's to hopin' all is happy
Never feelin' down
Here's to hopin' friends are there
To help see the day
Here's to hopin' all those dreams
Finally, come out
Here's to hopin' all this pain
Will wash up gone away
Here's to hopin' all is happy
Never feelin' down

{Outro}
Here's to hopin' friends are there
To help see the day
Here's to hopin' all those dreams

edit bio

The group Jade was originally composed of Joi Marshall, Angela Slates and Debra Mitchell.

Producer Vassal Benford sold the song “I Wanna Love You” before Marshall, Slates and Mitchell’s voices were recorded on the song. In order to keep the song on the soundtrack for the 1992 Kid ‘n Play comedy Class Act, Benford had to reproduce the song with the actual voices of the group members. When that could not be accomplished he implored the record label to drop Slates and Mitchell from the group and replace them with Di Reed and Tonya Kelly who were the voices on the song and who were signed to his production company. Tonya Kelly and Di Reed were signed on by producer Vassal Benford, and the group’s name was extended to Jade.

Tonya grew up in Chicago listening to jazz vocalists such as Sarah Vaughan and Nat King Cole. Joi Marshall was also from Chicago but was raised on Motown, especially Diana Ross. Di Reed grew up in Houston singing gospel anywhere she could.
