In spite of everything you know
You still go on believing
You say what you think can make it so
Even if what's so is so deceiving
It is a wonderful life
Everything is all right forever
It is a wonderful life
Everything is all right forever
You say that you think you know what's true
And you say it without blinking
But all your library books are due
And your boat is slowly sinking
All those wasted years
All the fights and tears
It must have been for a reason
Just when I thought it would last
Down drops the oxygen mask
While the headphones play "Time of the Season"
In spite of all your doubt and fear
You're off in a new direction
Maybe you'll be back in a year
Or maybe you'll find a new connection
