lyrics

Had a little hope just for a little bit
I held on tight, held on tight
Held on tight to it
Felt a little joy for just about an hour
And I could feel
The glory in the flower

But then the wind went of my sails
The wind went out of my sails
Nothing good prevails
When the wind went out of my sails

Thought I had a chance
Felt so excited
The path ahead seemed clear
The path seemed clear
So clear and well-lighted
Maybe just this once I will grieve not
But rather find
Strength in what remains behind

In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be
In the soothing thoughts of spring
Out of human suffering
In the faith that looks through death
In the years that bring the philosophic mind

Should've known better
Should be wised up by now
Everything I want
Yeah everything I want
The world just won't allow
What is the point
It's the question I keep seeking
I bring up again and again
But no one hears me speaking
