Platitudes

Hope springs eternal
Hope springs eternal
They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger
How much longer must I wait
To be stronger?

Survival of the fittest
Survival of the fittest
They say that it's natural selection
Here's my question: Will I know
When I've evolved?

Love is the answer
Hate is a cancer
They say the greatest cure is in our laughter
That's what I'm after, to be cured
And self-assured


We live and learn, sometimes we grieve
We raise our children, watch them leave

We lose our fathers and our mothers
Leave our sisters, bury brothers

One more goodbye
A weary sigh
Now move along
Life goes on


To every thing there is a season
To every thing there is a season
The cosmos is beyond my comprehension
To what dimension will my soul
Achieve ascension?

What goes around, comes around
What goes around, comes around
The world, so often good, contains such evil
Causing upheaval of my faith
Beyond retrieval

Life is what you make it
Life is what you make it
They say the meek among us will endure
I'm not so sure that they are right
Stand up and fight
With all your might.
