THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...) THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...) THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...) THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE...
Harry's Garden
. . . where I learned . . .
oh what if you had lived
imagine all you could have given
all you could have inspired
all you could have changed
oh what if you had lived
to be a ripe young man of sixty
we'd have so much to say
besides Happy Birthday
today some mourn
today some cry
today some forget
today some lie
today some fight
today some die
today some give in
some give up
I don't know why
oh what if you had lived
imagine what more you could have done
with your influence
with your energy
oh what if you had lived
suddenly I realize you're free
and there's so much more to be
so much more to see
wherever you are
you are still here
for you live in me
today some live
today some feel
today some dare
to become real
today some swim
today some fly
today some give
and some don't
I don't know why
you were one light in a dark valley
and I can sill hear you say
it's got to be the going
not the getting there, that's good
wherever you are today
and I hope you hear me say
your gifts are still treasured here
your music still plays
and today I celebrate
your birthday
today I've come to say
Happy Birthday
Today
(If You Lived)
