there is music and laughter lately
and there's prayers and praise there
are reasons to be so happy and beliefs to embrace
there are times to be so angry i'd rather lie in the sun
it's the summer of my lifetime
i've been blessed with some fun
i'm a season past springtime
and my life has gone boom
keep my eyes on the father
everything will just get better
through the seasons i'll roam
when all of the music's over
to know that god's been good to me
and a place to lay my head
flung into the great unknown
now i'll never walk alone
i can't use it all myself
so i take it off the shelf here it is
enjoy yourself put away your drudgery
that's what it's intended for
