Only Fools

As moons aged and tree colors changed,

In mountains caved, and out dust strayed,

Drawings were made, and pastel dreams arrayed,

In such a way to make dishonesty celebrate.

As skies burn and down nations turn,

Death is learned, and rules are spurned,

Miss Fortune was curved, and a change observed,

In such a way to make dishonesty celebrate.

But oh in the end life's so futile to plan.

And holes we can mend, but we're just women and men.

You've got a heart because you tried.

You've got a thousand reasons for why hope never dies.

The lakes become rain, and the sunlight turns to shade,

But still, there's the feeling that only fools cast aside, that only fools cast aside.

As children grow and their parents glow,

We hear a voice like hope, looking on with pride.

These seeds are sown, and stems begin to show,

In such a way to make dishonesty celebrate.

But oh in the end life's so futile to plan.

And holes we can mend, but we're just women and men.

You've got a heart because you tried.

You've got a thousand reasons for why hope never dies.

The lakes become rain, and the sunlight turns to shade,

But still, there's the feeling that only fools cast aside, that only fools cast aside.

Even though today wasn't really a fair day,

And even though tomorrow might be the same.

The future is all there is to offer,

And though we'll find a hundred ends, they're not all dead.

But oh in the end life's so futile to plan.

And holes we can mend, but we're just women and men.

You've got a heart because you tried.

You've got a thousand reasons for why hope never dies.

The lakes become rain, and the sunlight turns to shade,

But still, there's the feeling that only fools cast aside, that only fools cast aside.
