Face of the Storm

Verse1:
It seems that my life is falling apart,
I’m in a place I should have never been.
If I could close my eyes and shut the darkness out,
I could make my own reality within.
Verse 2:

Said it seems that I’ve been waiting so long,
I’ve come a long way, but look where I am,
Things I should have accomplished by now,
Have passed away like so many grains of sand.
Chorus:

But I keep on hopin,
I keep on tryin’
I keep on smilin’
In the face of the storm.
Said I keep on hopin,
I keep on tryin’
I keep on smilin’
In the face of the storm.
Bridge:

If I could fly away,
Maybe come back another day,
When the hurtin’s gone,
In the light of dawn,
Then maybe I could sing a different song.Verse 3:
Perhaps I turned to the right when I should have turned left,
Or maybe thought what I saw was real,
Perhaps the world doesn’t owe me anything at all,
God if I’d only known how it hurts to feel.

Verse 4:
Then I wouldn’t have let my guard come down,
Or looked for truth in the face of my foe,
Or been deceived by my own hopes and fears,
Into thinking I could find my way back home.

Chorus:
But I keep on hopin,
I keep on tryin’
I keep on smilin’
In the face of the storm.
I keep on hopin,
I keep on tryin’
Keep on smilin’
In the face of the storm.
Said I keep on hopin,Lord,
And keep on tryin’
Keep on hopin’,
Gotta
Gotta keep on tryin’
Said I keep on hopin and I keep on tryin’
Keep on smiling In the face of the storm.
