Come and Get It!

In the beauty of tomorrow
there are ghosts of yesterday
When the world discarded sorrow
and our hearts could fly away
We began the day forgiving
laid our nightmares in their beds
Now we spend a lifetime living
all the dreams found in our heads
On the hills above forever
we went walking into night
And believed that we were clever
keeping happiness in sight
We once watched some young go getter
leaving us sat on our shelves
Now we’ve found that life is better
being happy for ourselves
Come and join us on our journey
we won’t pass this way again
You can’t call a posh attorney
from the compensation train
If you miss your chance of living
there is nothing you can do
There is no-one out there giving
second tries to me and you.
