A Song of Hope

Outside my window, a flycatcher's singing
With no complaints or a telephone ringing
I took a freeway with no destination
To follow dreams I've yet to have

And the man in the mirror says you're getting older
And everyone around you tells you to be stronger
And there are times you can't stand it any longer
You feel the weight of the world on your shoulder

But it's ok, it's alright
That's what you've heard a thousand times
And I'll say it again
Though I don't know, but I think it's true
It'll be alright

But then again sometimes you're right
Sometimes the light won't turn bright
Life won't always get easier
But you get better at life

And the man in the mirror says you're getting older
And everyone around you tells you to be stronger
And there are times you can't stand it any longer
You feel the weight of the world on your shoulder

Just be patient and strive
Don't put your mind on overdrive
And don't' forget your eight glasses of water
And if you can't dance, at least try to balter

And the man in the mirror says you're getting older
And everyone around you tells you to be stronger
And there are times you can't stand it any longer
You feel the weight of the world on your shoulder

And I hope that you understand
There's always someone who'll lend you a hand
And an umbrella doesn't end the rain around you
But it keeps you dry till the sunshine can find you
