lyrics

Sometimes I realize that I am heading nowhere. Others I hold to the fact that I have got nowhere to go. It’s not that it’s disappointment, I’ve no reason for shame for trying to be myself in a cold, cruel world.

And with each new day that comes I feel that I am on the right road. The world can try to pass me by, but why? I don’t know. But I’ve got something inside saying, “I can make it this time!”

Sometimes I give up long before the end’s in sight. Some days I get too far in to quit. Some days bring hope that what’s ahead is bearable, and sometimes fear is all I get.

And it may be the farthest thing from truth, but I’ll make them believe that I am not afraid. When it comes to standing tall I’ll be brave.

Sometimes it feels like I just keep heading down a hill, the hopes seem lost and the trouble will never stop. Sometimes I’ll feel like the flowers on your windowsill, the sun beats down and the good times make me feel so strong. And having both is what I call living decently, enough ups and downs to drive someone to insanity. So how do you keep from falling to the ground below? Just take a breath and realize that sometimes that’s the way it goes.

With each new day that comes I feel I’m on the right road. The world can try to pass me by, but why? I don’t know. But I’ve got something inside saying, “I can make it this time!”

“I can make it this time!”
