THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...)

and the time goes on it's own, no matter what we think is known
and the space divides us all, no matter how loud we call
no matter how hard we try, we can only live until we die
so at least for the time we are here, share some space and show you care
that is all I have to declare, and when it's time to go... go without fear

every year it seems we're getting older
navels are contemplated in time
some get more timid and some get bolder
I just keep on coming back to rhyme

still in search of a private shoulder
love has waiting here for a while
some are getting hotter, some get colder
I just keep on coming back to smile

for I don't see any use in worrying about it
I'm just hanging loose, taking it as it comes
others can keep abuse, I can live without it
do not need a noose, don't need to beat drums
learning how to take it as it comes

and the time goes on it's own, no matter what we think is known
and the space divides us all, no matter how loud we call
no matter how hard we try, we can only live until we die
so at least for the time we are here, share some space and show you care
that is all I have to declare, and when it's time to go... go without fear

every year it seems we're learning something
crossing lines we never knew before
learning how to understand why I sing
learning how to share myself some more

hoping you are crowning yourself the king
in a kingdom of one you adore
making the most of all that you can bring
to this life, whatever it's for

for it's that time of year, upon that certain day
when counting the time here, seems to be the way
so let me make this clear, what I came here to say
is I am glad you're here, and... Happy Birthday
and when it's time to cheer... I'm cheering you on all the way

a birthday rhyme, with space and time
and some deep thoughts tossed in
whatever it means, it's only worth beans
if you don't let it in

the feeling's true, and it's for you
and you know this is my way
to show I care, let it be clear
Dear Tristan, Happy Birthday
Dear Tristan... Happy Birthday



DearTristan
(Happy Birthday)
