All That Hammering

Lyrics

I used to think joy was the break between sorrows

Like peace was the break between wars

I'm still partly new now but mostly older

And I cannot say I'm so sure

Chorus 1

I never trusted happiness as far as I could throw it

Always preparing for the worst 'cause I would know it

All of that hammering in the dark

Like a new Noah working on his ark

I may look back at today and feel foolish

My old view was right all along

I will rush in where no angels are walking

And fight for the right to be wrong

Chorus 1

Chorus 2

Between my potential and the deep blue sea

There's a rock and diamond either side of me

Between our potential and the break of day

There is nothing at all in our way
