Bright outlooks for the future we have in store

Are so much harder to keep up then they were before

It begins so easy, when life is new

But as life gets lived in and the situations stew

The trouble keeps brewing, we fall back into old familiar shoes

Bright outlooks are hard to see

When darkness is all that's around me

My friends however I see them around

How is it, if its dark can I see them, where is the light to be found?

Everyone's shrouded in darkness

And people can be so heartless

It's the same old story, yet sorrow never loses its glory

In the hearts of the lovelorn

Or the people in the darkness life has scorned

Bright outlooks are at the end of their night, the neon dawn

bright outlooks are so hard to keep up these days

when our views have gone so out of focus and astray

off the path, and I almost laugh how zigzagged that path may appear

when everyone thinks the path is straight, at least that's what I hearr

bright outlooks are hard to keep

when all you want is to put your sorrows to sleep

to lay down after a long hard day and find some peace

cradled in loves arms may you find the needed release

I see the same thing go, does it have to be so?

Nothing seems to last forever

But for your true love I'd give up all

For one hour together
