[verse 1] Morning rings, you're out of time Get up slow, find your mind Another day, back to the grind Here we go again Can't tell if you've got it made 100 in the shade Barely makes a passing grade Doin' fine, my friend Feel it crawling on my soul And as the shadows grow I find some solace there, in darkness Carve out a little hole Feel the dawn light on my face I'm trying hard to keep a'pace There's too much to be And I'm getting old [lead-in] Greet the day with what I've got Gonna try and shoot my shot Know it might not change a lot Worth it, in the end [chorus] (Silver linings) The little bit of light Creeping into sight On the edge of emptiness (Silver linings) Hold on to that little line It'll all work out in time Don't settle for less Silver linings [verse 2] Catch a wave, ride it in Don't fret about when to begin Spread your arms, soar on the wind Nature knows good timing You are here, the map might say Feeling small, against the day Don't let it fill you with dismay Keep your beacon shining There's a hidden web out there Floating in the air It binds us all together The elements we share You're twisting in the churn Be you deity or worm And when the time comes for your test We'll see just what you've learned [lead-in] That being said, I'm happy here Though I'm tired, I'm full of cheer Focus thoughts on love so dear Be the silver lining [chorus] (Silver linings) Lift the lid and take a peek Become the prize you seek You gotta show'em how (Silver linings) That flashy little glow In time you're gonna know And I'm sure that time is now Silver linings [bridge] A simple man gets a complex plan Unfurled before his eyes That simple man will give it all he can And finally realize The world was his all along Just sitting there in his hands He just needs a place to belong Somewhere he knows he can stand [chorus] (Silver linings) You're the one who makes the moves Strut your stuff and find a groove Put it all on the line (Silver linings) Don't half-ass your way through life It will involve a little strife And the rest will be just fine Silver linings (Silver linings) Breathe it in and let it out As a song or as a shout It gets easier every day (Silver linings) Remember who you are Fight a battle, wear the scar Make tomorrow go your way Silver linings [outro - fade out] (Silver linings) Oooo silver linings Keep your head up, keep that head up (Silver linings) (Silver linings) Silver linings Ooooh you got it now, you got it! (Silver linings)
