Headstart for Happiness lyrics

I will learn, I will grow
And for my pain, my strength shall show
For as surely as Spring will come
Bringing freshness to order's dance
Until the ices melt away
Then we will live again
I will try, I will succeed
To train my sights upon the deep
And wait for Summer's bloom to come
Bringing warmth to the frozen hearts
Until the skies are filled with love
Then we will live again

I was hoping to be found alive in a pool of lies and
an ocean of tears
I was looking for a ship ahoy
I was waiting, bottom line, for a miracle
All I hope is that when they find me
I have the good sense to say a prayer
For all that is dear to me
I hope I still find them waiting there

Knowing that I should be grateful is not enough and no reason at all

Hush now child, and don't you cry
Your folks might understand you, by and by
Just move on up
Towards your destination
You may find, from time to time, complications
Bite your lip, oh child, just take a trip
Though there may be a wet road ahead
You cannot slip, now
Just move on up
And keep on pushing
Just a little faith, you can put your mind to it
You can surely do it

I stood as tall as a mountain
I never really thought about the drop
I trod over rocks to get there
Just so I could stand on top
Clumsy and blind I stumbled
As I crawled through desert sands
I didn't stop to think about the consequences
As it came to pieces in my hands

I thought I was a maritime marvel
I believed that I ruled the waves
All I could say is time is motion

The teardrops in my eyes are now just words upon some paper
Imitating poetry that comes to my time later
Oh, Francoise
Could it be the time changing
Oh, Francoise
Please don't get me wrong - I meant it
If good things come in twos why did we never act as one
I thought that we might last forever
I'm shocked to find we won't
Oh, Francoise
Can it be that time's so different
Oh, Francoise

Everybody's on the run
When times get too rough and things get you down
When life gets too tough just take a look around

The money gets tight and there's no one around
No one in sight - you've got to understand

You're trying so hard to make your life right
They'll knock back down - but you won't be there for life

When times get too rough and things get you down
