There are days when you think nothing's going right
There are times when you just want to give up the fight
But there's a bigger picture, a wider screen
It tries to merge experience with the unforeseen
So be kind to your mind
Leave behind the imperfections that you seek to find
Sometimes it takes a nightmare to focus your dreams
A flood makes you appreciate the smallest streams
It's not about your flavoured gin or holes in your jeans
Are you with me so far
Most of the time we don't know how lucky we are
We stand by when we could lend a helping hand
And curse our fortune when things don't always go as planned
Yet in the grander theatre when the lights are low
We all can come together in the afterglow
So let's start to be smart
With one heart, put on a show in which we play our part
Sometimes it takes a nightmare to focus your dreams
A flood makes you appreciate the smallest streams
It's not about your haircut or your shopping routines
Are you with me so far
You really get to know the people over your fance
You find that things of value have the least expense
And everybody wants to use the future tense
Are you with me so far
Most of the time we don't know how lucky we are
Though unease may pass between the rank and file
In all the shadow towns we try to raise a smile
Through the cold, young or old
We are told at ends of rainbows are pots of gold
Sometimes it takes a nightmare to focus your dreams
A flood makes you appreciate the smallest streams
It's not about your flavoured gin or holes in your jeans
Are you with me so far
You really get to know the people over your fence
You find that things of value have the least expense
And everybody wants to use the future tense
Are you with me so far
Most of the time we don't know how lucky we are
