Silver Linings

Instead of banking on tomorrow 

We should appreciate today 

We must not let ourselves get get tongue-tied 

Over all we didn’t say 

Because the world will keep on turning 

No matter how stuck we may feel 

The time will pass despite how hard

we dig in with our heels 

So let life pass by freely 

Embrace the wonders of each day 

Let the light and dark parts mingle 

There’s calm and comfort in the grey 

The clouds will part as quickly 

As they arrive, and they pour down 

It never lasts forever 

Don’t you worry, you won’t drown 

For the rain can be so cleansing 

Starting fresh and starting new 

Helping all the hurt and heartache 

Feed the earth that you grow through 

Every struggle and each heartbreak

Is a gift; a planted seed 

For we’d never know we are alive

If we don’t see that we all bleed 

So let yourself crack open

It will only let in light 

And then when the dark engulfs you

You will illuminate the night
