THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...)
I go in the shower to try to get clean
I wonder if anyone knows what I mean
I step through the ash and dirt in which I'm mired
and wonder why after I don't feel inspired
hitting bottom ain't no fun
can't wait till the ride is done
let me off for just a while
I just want to find my smile
I go out to work to try to survive
I wonder if this is called being alive
I climb through the corruption only to find
somewhere on the journey I have lost my mind
making it good ain't no fun
can't wait till the ride is done
all the rewards to succeed
still don't give me what I need
I cross over to the other side
don't know if I've lived or I've died
just know the waters are so wide
the answers always seem to hide
and I think
maybe it's not what we've got
that makes for a fun ride
it's learning not to agonize
over what we've been denied
I wake up from another night of lost dreams
I wonder if it was all more than it seems
I go in the shower to try to get clean
I wonder if anyone knows what I mean
