Silver Lining

[Verse 1]
Once upon a time
I was safe and flying high above the land
But then a storm rolled in
Ripped my wings and threw my dreams upon the sand

[Chorus 1]
Oh I was bruised and beat
And I fell a thousand feet
And I cursed the sky because I didn't know
That sometimes rain is good
And it comes down like it should
And it makes the thirsty trees and flowers grow
There's a little good in everything when anything goes wrong
There was a silver lining all along

[Verse 2]
Once I was a king
There was nothing that I needed, not a thing
But then the soldiers fled
When the kingdom fell, the crown fell off my head

[Chorus 2]
Sometimes things go wrong
And the road's a little long
And the rivers that we cross are far too wide
Sometimes change is good
Though we never thought we could
And there's something better on the other side
There's a little good in everything when anything goes wrong
There was a silver lining all along

[Bridge]
Can I keep you close?
Can you stay here forever next to me?
But sometimes people go
So we have to say goodbye and set them free
Sometimes people die, some way before their time
And they leave us wondering and asking why
Sometimes tears will fall, but it's not the end at all
Because nothing ever really dies

[Outro]
There's a little good in everything when anything goes wrong
There was a silver lining
There was a silver lining
There was a silver lining all along
