Silver Lining

Recently I’ve been thinking

And patching holes in a ship that’s sinking.

I’ve been dropping anchor and shooting flares,

And only drawing blank stares.

I used to look for the silver lining

Where the clouds were covering

The sun that’s shining.

But I often got lost in the overcast

Because the darkness has a way

to make darkness last.

So I’ll sit right here in the shade I’ve made.

No shining sun on this darkened day.

I hope this darkness won’t last forever,

And the sun will break this gloomy weather

I’m still looking for the silver lining.

But the clouds are covering

The sun that’s shining.

So I often get lost in the overcast

Because the darkness has a way

to make darkness last

The more I look the less sun I see.

I guess that it won’t shine on me.

That’s where I find the comfort knowing

That a silver lining is always glowing.

Because no matter how dark the cloudy cover

When the light is gone and the sun is smothered.

The silver linings never hard to find

When you’re not looking at the ground, you’ll find…

That you can find the silver lining.

It’s the hope of sun when it isn’t shining.

Cause way above the the gloomy sky

After all the sun still shines
