Music and Lyrics by Owen Temple and Walt Wilkins
Damn this news, another hope gone through
Everything we thought that we might be
More sorrow every day, goes on age to age
But I still want to believe
Give me one true beautiful thing
Something I can hold on to, something to get me through
Tell me it isn’t just a dream, that we’re closer than we seem
To a better place and better days
“It’s always gonna be this way” – so the so-called wise men say
That’s the way of the world- sit down – drink your half full cup
Oh and this life hurts, it’ll break your heart
I need a word, I need a song, I need a touch
I need something that will lift me up
One true beautiful thing
Something I can hold on to, something to get me through
Tell me it isn’t just a dream, that we’re closer than we seem
To a better place and better days
Give me one true beautiful thing
Something I can hold on to, something to get me through
Tell me it isn’t just a dream, that we’re closer than we seem
To a better place and better days
One true beautiful thing
Something I can hold on to, something to get me through
Please tell me it isn’t just a dream, that we’re closer than we seem
To a better place and better days
