Greener Grass

There’s no harm in trying Some days you can’t go wrong There’s no harm in falling When you do…listen to this song I’ve been happy Good Lord knows I’ve been sad Faced the world head on And took the good with the bad Some days you wake up And wish they’d be over Some days you wake up And they're filled with clover I’m still warm No I’m not cold I won’t live forever May not grow old I can’t hang on tomorrow I can’t dwell on yesterdays sorrow I won’t see the days new dawn If today I’m already gone Sometimes you’re out in the cold Sometimes caught in the storm Sometimes your bones are aching Searching for some feeling good warm Sometimes you’ll feel all alone Like you just can’t find a friend Sometimes the worlds on your shoulder And you’ll break at the bend God is my witness This to shall pass… And it will bring Greener grass I’m still warm No I’m not cold I won’t live forever May not grow old I can’t hang on tomorrow I can’t dwell on yesterdays sorrow I won’t see the days new dawn If today I’m already gone Like all of Gods good creatures... Ya gotta keep, keeping on Like all of Gods good creatures…Ya gotta keep, keeping on...Ya gotta keep, keeping on
