Keep the good times near and keep them adding up Pretty soon you'll see a hope rise like flowers The future is bright and vivid But you look for the darkness in it You say your satisfied with the things you do It helps to mobilize; it helps to pull you through You're waiting on instant visions You're slacking on days' decisions Oh silly thing, you're going to have to make your mind up soon You stop and you start every time you get your life in tune There's a burning fire, a genuine desire to start anew But your fear and doubt find a way to cast a spell on you The days are moving fast, I see a change in you Nothing's built to last, we're only passing through You can talk with the ghosts and spirits Try to conquer the hours and minutes Truth and fancy lies in the things you do Don't let disappointment take the best from you So fly with the birds and seasons You stand by your soul for reasons Oh silly thing, you're going to have to make your mind up soon You stop and you start every time you get your life in tune There's a burning fire, a genuine desire to start anew But your fear and doubt find a way to cast a spell on you
