A Crack In The World

There’s a crack in the world

And we’re all hanging on

Hanging on, trying not to fall through the void

But sometimes there’s only so much you can do

And it’s hard to have big dreams

But it’s hard to let those dreams die out, too

Remembering when you were a kid

And you thought by now you’d figure out

Figure out most everything

But it’s all as confusing as ever

And every day adds something new

And some of those things are bad enough

Bad enough, they almost crush you

It’s not what you wanted, but it’ll do

It’s not what you wanted, but it’s gonna have to do

Who knows if we’ll be here tomorrow

But everything, everything, everything still matters you know

And you can say you didn’t

But we’ve been over this again and again

You never hear anything you don’t want to

And you don’t wanna hear about the end

It’s not what you wanted, but it’ll do

It’s not what you wanted, but it’s what you get

And who knows things could get better yet

Taking pleasure in simple things in between

Hot tea on a cold fall day

And dressing up for Halloween

And I'm still trying my best

You know it keeps getting harder and harder every day

When you see the news on the TV, on the radio

But I’ll keep trying to keep the skies blue anyway
