Sometimes when things get bad It's hard to imagine that greatness can ever follow. Sometimes when things get bad The *** of gold seems eternally hollow. As if an eternal sunset may have occurred And the sun took it's last bow. And through the dimmed silky moonlight You can only see grey clouds. But that's only sometimes And the world gets better. I can promise you this. You won't always be a debtor. One day you'll collect And the sun will shine brighter. And you'll stand proud Because you were the last fighter. So keep pushing And get up when you've been slammed down. Because a human with such brilliance Does not belong on the ground. Do not listen to unrealistic words Go forth and persevere. So you can always be proud When you see your face in the mirror And when the light doesn't seem to shine And your lifelines look severed. Use your own mind to remember "Sometimes" is not forever.

Sometimes
Sometimes when things get bad It's hard to imagine that greatness can ever follow. Sometimes when things get bad The *** of gold seems eternally hollow. As if an eternal sunset may have occurred And the sun took it's last bow. And through the dimmed silky moonlight You can only see grey clouds. But that's only sometimes And the world gets better. I can promise you this. You won't always be a debtor. One day you'll collect And the sun will shine brighter. And you'll stand proud Because you were the last fighter. So keep pushing And get up when you've been slammed down. Because a human with such brilliance Does not belong on the ground. Do not listen to unrealistic words Go forth and persevere. So you can always be proud When you see your face in the mirror And when the light doesn't seem to shine And your lifelines look severed. Use your own mind to remember "Sometimes" is not forever.
