I used to think joy, was the break between sorrow, Like peace was the break between wars, I'm still partly new now, but mostly older, And I can not say I'm so sure. I never trusted happiness, as far as I could throw it, Always preparing for the worst, 'cause I would know it, All of that hammering in the dark, like a new noah working on his ark, On his ark. I may look back at today and feel foolish, My old view was right all along, I will rush in, where no angels are walking, And fight for the right to be wrong. 'cause I never trusted happiness, as far as I could throw it, Always preparing for the worst, 'cause I would know it, Of that hammering in the dark, like a new noah working on his ark, On his ark. Between my potential and the deep blue sea, There's a rock and a diamond either side of me, Between our potential and the break of day, There is nothing at all in our way, Nothing in our way.
