Don'T Stop Now

We want to think everything's all right We want to say that everything's fine. We all need to try to see through the night We all have to search for the Grand Design. Well it's not always as clear as we'd like it Doesn't always follow the plan. Sometimes the match doesn't catch when we strike it And sometimes there's nobody there in command. You know how it helps to cling to delusion You know how that breaks the fall. But if we persist with attractive illusion We might not escape this at all. Don't stop now - Don't stop believing in us Don't stop now - We can't afford to wait Don't stop now - Don't stop believing in us Don't stop now - Or it may be too late. We want everything to stop being so crazy To just settle down and be cool. Are we all just too tired, or maybe too lazy, Is the Human Race gonna play the Fool? It's not gonna get up and go away We can't just pretend it's not there. These troubles we've made have come home to stay But we can still win if we care. Don't stop now - Don't stop believing in us Don't stop now - We can't afford to wait Don't stop now - Don't stop believing in us Don't stop now - Or it may be too late. Everyone wants a little more money Everyone wants a little more time. Everyone's got some kind of crutch to lean on, Everyone needs their reason to rhyme. Everyone wants to live forever Everyone dreams go by. Everyone wants to probe the deep end Everyone wants to touch the sky. Everyone ought to read the writing Written high upon the wall. Everyone ought to stop the fighting Or grit their teeth before the fall. Don't stop now - Don't stop believing in us Don't stop now - We can't afford to wait Don't stop now - Don't stop believing in us Don't stop now - Or it may be too late.
