Lyrics

I wish I knew the words to say
To make your darkness go away
But all I find are worn out lines
Like "Keep your chin up, you'll be fine"
Or, "I know exactly how you feel,"
But let's be real

The sun may not shine tomorrow,
You might feel worse than today
You may lose your grip, stumble or slip
But Rome's not rebuilt in a day
The length of the journey's determined
Not by distance as much as desire
And don't you let your doubt put out that fire

I wish there was a song I knew
To give you hope to hold on to
But all I play are tired cliches
Like "Tomorrow will be a better day,"
Or, "Any old cloud might bring a rainbow,"
When we both know,

The sun may not shine tomorrow,
You might feel worse than today
You may lose your grip, stumble or slip
But Rome's not rebuilt in a day
The length of the journey's determined
Not by distance as much as desire
And don't you let your doubt put out that fire

Don't confuse who you are with where you've been,
I know it's a long road back but I will be there when -

The sun may not shine tomorrow,
You might feel worse than today
You may lose your grip, stumble or slip
But Rome's not rebuilt in a day
The length of the journey's determined
Not by distance as much as desire
And don't you let your doubt put out that fire
