SOMEBODY ELSE’S SONG

Times like this are all we’ve ever known
Things get better but they don’t get best
I think we’ve earned the right to more than better
Life should be more than some kind of test.
But I’ll be here when all the leaves have fallen.
I’ll be here when all the water’s dried.
I’ll be here when all the dreams are wakened.
I’ll be here until the test is tried

There isn’t much around you can rely on
Not too much on which we can depend.
If there’s an enemy it keeps well hidden
So you better learn to recognize your friend
But I’ll be here when all the fears come callin’
I’ll be here when darkness eats the light.
I’ll be here when Summer’s in the day-time.
I’ll be here when Winter’s in the night.

Life seems to be slidin’ to a standstill.
There’s so much to do that nothing’s done.
Way its goin’ if the days get any darker
The wolves will soon be howling at the Sun.
But I’ll be here and I’ll be in the Forest.
I’ll be here and I’ll be on the Sea.
I’ll be here and I’ll be on the Mountain
I will be everywhere that I can be.
