Cheer Up - It Might Never Happen...

A jolly little ditty - an antidote to 'Road to Ruin' and others of that ilk

Cheer up, it might never happen

chorus
Don’t you know the world it keeps on turning
Don’t you know …The stars and  the moon still shine
So why d’you have to keep this secret yearning
Wishing for the start of better times
Maybe you fear the sky is falling
Well we all get scared when night is dark
But just before the dawn the birds start calling
Telling you the future’s not so stark

verse
Look in the papers and what do I see
Nothing but panic and deep misery
Look out the window the flowers still bloom
Plenty of beauty to pierce through the gloom
But turn on the radio or the TV
Where is the future for you and for me
Go out in the garden and sit in the sun
If we feel better we’ll get something done today

 

You can sit in the shadows hide in your room
Never quite sure if it’s a womb or a tomb
Fear for the chaos fear for decay
Fear of some mythical ancient of days
But don’t waste your time on your inner malaise
Just  feel the rush of the blood in your veins
Beating out strong so that nothing will cloy
So get on with your life with passion and innocent joy
