A Moment of Hope

 

 

I guess I’m at that obligatory high
When the sun shines between the storm clouds in the sky
And I feel like there’s something great coming my way
If I can just hold on
Hold out one more day

Fate’s got a plan for me
Something in the dimness of my thoughts 
I could not foresee
And I’m trying to meet it in the middle

I had real hopes of being some kind of philosophical scholar
And maybe someday that old dream will matter
Maybe I’ll be better
Maybe I’ll go farther
Maybe for once
I’ll succeed where before I've met with failure

But deep inside that black pit of my soul
I know that no matter how far I go
Or how fast I run
Those storm clouds lie in wait
To devour my sun.
