It's hard to find the bright side of things When it rains in the summer time But I'll take the rain; you can take the sunny side Cause you must face the worst before you give the best a try Have courage I say, courage I say Keep your chin up; never be looking down If you take my hand we can turn this city around With courage I say, courage I say All my life is passing by But where's my reason? I wish time were tangible So I could hold on to it It's hard to believe that something exists Without ever seeing it But I'll take my faith and measure it with anyone's Cause I've got to thinking the best is still yet to come Have courage I say, courage I say Keep your chin up; never be looking down If you take my hand we can turn this city around With courage I say, courage I say All my life is passing by But where's my reason? I wish time were tangible So I could hold on to it Look at the hourglass Is time running out? Turn it around; just turn it around All my life is passing by But where's my reason? I wish time were tangible So I could hold on to it
