I declare this year to be the worst one yet Walls decayed and left shadows of a kingdom, bet You a million days from now a laugh has struck the living For they're at peace and well Scared, confused and hurt, stuck in a rewind with all this Hate, and keeping score, we have to be reminding ourselves A flower is born amongst the darkness and the rubble The surface is a triumph it fights for It's gonna turn around And I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting on that Before an up there's down And I'm counting, I'm counting, I'm counting on that Hold onto your seat it's gonna be a rough ride But everything'll turn with time ♪ So prone to forget when you're in the depths of your despair Remember when I was in the same boat back there Sailing waters with certainty I'd surely not recover But I cried, then learned, and lived It's gonna turn around And I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting on that Before an up there's down And I'm counting, I'm counting, I'm counting on that Hold onto your seat it's gonna be a rough ride But everything'll turn with time ♪ We all know the world has not been in our favour lately though I'm feeling that a change is lurking close you'll see, you'll see Oh I know it's hard living holding up a positive facade When you're feeling like the joy of life is gone But you'll see, you'll see, you'll see It's gonna turn around Before an up there's down It's gonna turn around Before an up there's down Hold onto your seat it's gonna be a rough ride But everything'll turn with time It's gonna turn around And I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting on that Before an up there's down And I'm counting, I'm counting, I'm counting on that Hold onto your seat it's gonna be a rough ride But everything'll turn with time
